When it comes to choosing a college degree that aligns well with the real estate industry, there are several options to consider: Business Administration/Management, Finance/Economics, Real Estate/Property Management, Urban Planning/Development, Marketing, etc.Ultimately, the best degree for you depends on your specific interests, career goals, and strengths.

One of the biggest pros of house hacking duplexes and fourplexes is the access to favorable financing options.

I like the later option, but that’s a personal preference.If you’re not yet used to analyzing deals, then start practicing with anything you find.

Those types of properties are usually pure cash flow options.

I suppose house hacking isn't an option for you at this time?

@Parker Robertson There are several other options out there like JWB, Midsouth homebuyers and Crestcore to name a few. 

To see how you are with being a landlord again, then gradually scale from there. with the remaining cash on hand, you always have the option to pay it off whenever you'd like or keep it on hand for any repairs/ maintenance that comes with being a landlord.  

Best option is using an attorney to at least review the documents.

And if not- what are the creative options?

Hey @Andrew Pryor, You definitely have some options...I have an entire novel I could write here on ways to make this work.
