As I just graduated and started working a year ago and have just begun experiencing the stranglehold of student loan payments, I still live with mom and dad...hopefully this will change shortly.When my parents first suggested the idea of a two family I wasn't overly impressed with the thought, but as I have done some reading I have only gotten more and more excited about the idea of investing in rental properties.

Hi Kevin, I am not sure your current situation (credit score, own a house or not, etc), but what I personally have done in the past is when I was going to school I borrowed the maximum I could in student loans at low interest rates and purchased a couple of properties.

I hope to start out using creative investing strategies that require little money down, because I am a full time student and do not yet have established credit due to my student loans and young age. 

I am currently a student in graduate school in Southern California studying to be a pharmacist, and I am stuck with deferred student loans where the first payment due is in 6/2018.

I'm a 18-year-old A-Level student and has a keen interest in sustainability and sustainable housing.

One good agent I worked with in the past cynically referred to RE as "the last best refuge of the C student".I recently got licensed myself, and I'm finding the whole process very interesting.
