I'm currently a sophomore in college at Ohio State studying structural engineering while doing some brokerage on the side with Crawford Hoying and I'd like to get a duplex to rent out this summer to get some passive income going.  

While I do very little tax work anymore and am not taking any new clients I'm still licensed to practice and am very failure with real estate investing in qualified plans.  

Hello BP Forums Im a 17 year old high school student and I am planning on purchasing my first property this summer when I move out for college (Visalia area) and was hoping some of the experienced buyers on this website could steer me in the right direction on the best way to do it.

What's the best practices in this. 

I’m a 24 year old aerospace engineer and flight instructor in the Seattle area.I’m originally from Rhode Island, went to college at Purdue in Indiana, and have been working in Seattle full-time since 2012.I recently made my first step into real estate by buying a condo in South Lake Union.

The loan originator suggested that I work for a year and build a income first while paying off student loans so that I will have good rating; I just graduated college (completely different subject by the way).  

I've never been one to promote a college education for it's own sake as I think it's not for everyone.  

I am coming out of college with the intent to go straight into investing in real estate and my question is regarding the financing for the first property.
