It's a great way to earn capital, you have the opportunity to provide a like new home for someone that otherwise wouldn't be able to make that happen and you get to improve the community!

Hello, I’m new to real estate and want to make it my career.

Should I stick it out a few more years, earn money and get my degree and then start investing? 

I would also recommend travelling to see the actual properties if you are not 100% sure, this is your hard-earned money so you want to make sure it's going into the best opportunity possible.

Be open minded about what you buy and what you plan on doing with it.Listen to your gut, despite what comps and people state.I was told I wouldn't get get more than $50k initially; then $80k.Be willing to spend $500 on a private appraisal to earn thousands more.

Not much in 401k as I’m just starting my career.

I didn’t need an ok, I’m not letting anyone down counting on my work, and I’ll earn just as much.

Upon the beginning of the second year of tenancy the deposit must be in an interest bearing account, but the landlord/manager may keep up to 1% interest as admin fees (so make sure that account doesn't earn more than 1%). 

I have mainly focused on SFR most of my career, but I did flip a small 15 unit apartment complex and some duplexes.

Being a good and present family person was my top reason for earning my financial freedom.
