@Victoria Coleman For me, the main thing I do is get utilities on and keep the thermostat around 58-65 degrees when temperatures get freezing.

We will also be able to use some additional income as well next year once she finishes her nursing degree.

Those with a law degrees and those without one?

They are violating the law which is a 3rd degree felony.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but who out there has gotten a college degree in real estate?

Depending on if you have a degree, what field of study that degree is in, and where you live, that could be completely reasonable.

If it helps, I learned through BP at first, then got a part-time job with an investor, got my agent's and contractors license as a tool, got a full-time job for an investor, treated my job like a masters degree, was let go from that job after a couple years, started working full-time for myself as a contractor and realtor, house-hacked my primary house and sold it, bought a couple houses with a partner, bought a second live-in flip and I'm trying to build up my contractor and agent work to increase my income so I can have more capital to buy properties on my own, and so I can be a stronger borrower to unlock lines of credit to speed this up.What social media platforms are you using to spread word about your business?

But again sellers control this stuff to a large degree. 

If I were you I would try to leverage that degree into a good paying W2, which will give you means as you strive to acquire that 50 unit property.

Yep my addition of my home was done when it was about 25 degrees out in January .
