@Jay HinrichsI saw Klay Thompson playing some basketball with some college kids on the net the other day.

. ^^)Simple practices such as visualization and meditation became a regular part of daily routines.Anyways, overcoming my fears and embracing a new mindset was key in helping me to begin networking with others here on BiggerPockets which has lead directly or indirectly to all of my real estate successes!

I am here to be a sponge and learn the ground level basics of what to do, what to know, how to obtain and the best practices of having rental properties and flipping houses.

I was also lucky enough to be able to study architectural design at a trade school my last two years of high school and really enjoyed it, however I went on to study business in college.

@Grant Patmon Five deals while in college is impressive.

The sole purpose is to identify and acquire 4+ bedroom properties to rent to college students and collect rent per room (research shows that rooms can rent anywhere from $400-$600 depending on size and condition of rooms/home). 

I've had Mint for a couple of years (started in college) and sometimes dread checking that site since I spend money on unnecessary purchases... 

Another thing is since you are new, you need to practice practice practice.

I'm pretty inexpensive (about half compared to typical small firms) because I also work full time as an attorney, and merely practice on the side to assist with my real estate deals and pay down law school debt (which is mortgage-sized), but I'm also very good (graduated with honors, guest lecturer, published papers, etc).
