Good luck and enjoy the ride!

This has been predicted by many, many "experts" in the field for some time (I believe we might be on our 3rd or 4th decade...I lost track). 

If you both enjoy it, he could house hack that all the way to graduation.

We know the nursing field is not going anywhere but most of the traveling nurses are on an 'at-will' contract and can be let go at anytime for any reason generally speaking (I'm not a lawyer).

I came into this field having been an investor, so I already had "some" knowledge of the game.

I have enjoyed reading through the forums and have already started analyzing properties looking for the right opportunity.

I have also been lucky enough to have been working with a real estate firm here in DFW that focuses primarily on due diligence of Freddie Mac multifamily securitizations for B-Piece buyers, so I've been able to hone my multifamily due diligence and underwriting skills in this field for the past 2 years on top of our self-education.At this time, we're focused on acquiring a duplex/triplex in the DFW metroplex (focused in the Irving/Las Colinas, Coppell, Carrollton/Farmers Branch, Richardson and Trinity Groves/Medical District areas in Dallas, as well as some of the surrounding submarkets on a deal-by-deal basis), with the plan to house-hack.

Perhaps, you enroll in a secondary college and take your prerequisites WHILE, mentoring under a few local real estate investors, or maybe you should get a job at a local property management firm, or get your real estate license , or any other number of real estate related fields....this will give you the experience needed to make an informed decision.

ADUs are terrific but minimize debt first then look into building on your property so that you can enjoy the income that the rental would generate.

RE definitely made a huge difference in my career - it allowed me to enjoy it more because I wasn't so dependent on the W2 to pay the bills.
