Hey Everybody, I am a college junior getting my studying for my degree in finance and hoping to pursue a career in real estate/development.

I also heard a podcast with a woman that purchased a foreclosure for $70,000 only to discover it had a $120,000 lien that she couldn't afford, so she lost the property and her $70,000.People can be successful, but you need to really educate yourself on what to expect, how to research the property, etc.
