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.  

@Preston Ellis Biggs since you like cigars, check out a group near you called the Tennessee International Tobacco Society

The two units that you rent out would be reported as rental property and the one unit that you live in would be reported/treated as your primary residence.In the future, when you sell the triplex, the two units that you rent out could be structured as a 1031 Exchange transaction and the one unit that you live in as your primary residence would fall under Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code ($250,000 tax-free).

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.  

Detroit is actually one of the biggest international crossings in the world.

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