My other option is to buy a duplex straight out of college and house hack.

I am a agent in my local area so I do cut out 7% off the top.

I agree with you that cutting every cost in half and saying "that half's for the house" is completely bogus.

I’m going for electrician, but I’m obviously not cut out for it and don’t want to waste my money or time since I pay for my own schooling and have little time for real estateIf I were to drop out I would have time to find a mentor, read, attend seminars, attend open houses, analyze more properties etc... my goal is to retire by 30 and I would be going to community college for another 3-6 years at the rate I’m going now.

It was built in 1917 and was done nicely I'm just not sure if corners were cut and that is hard to get down to until the inspection.Thanks in advanced for all your responses,MarieChele
