Im 21 years old, in college, getting my RE license on the side, and worked construction in the summers for the past 4 years learning everything i could about RE investing.

New investor here, looking at a multi-unit property located in a college town of about 200,000, approximately a 2 hour drive from where I live.  

I'm 19, 20 in May, and am currently in college here in SA.

I found BP about 21 months ago while recovering medically and looking for something that is more flexible than a typical job that causes you to work 10 to 12 hours a day without being paid any overtime.I was forced to be that way in the early 1980's when I had graduated from college.  

Otherwise you're putting some degree of trust into a group of folks with a financial interest in you making the purchase.

Save enough money for a downpayment or go to college if I wasn't already in college

I was listening to the podcast today and Brandon mentioned that he bought a four-plex for his daughter when she was born on a 15-year mortgage. the idea is by the time she graduates high school she will have a property free and clear and can use the equity to keep investing or pay for college.

I have a postgraduate degree but it's a PhD in science.  

I will be relocating to College Station/Bryan, Texas this summer. 

What you need to look at is whether the property is stabilized and whether there are long term tenants in an industrial/business market or established (waiting list) property in a transient (like a college town) market.
