I'm 22 with 1 year until graduation.

The downfall is that I wanted to purchase my first property once I graduated in June 2021 next year, and lending companies require 2 years of proof of income tax returns.

Im 20 right now graduating next year.

I just graduated college about a year ago and got a good job a few months ago (At a online mortgage lender which is awesome!) 

One issue is the schools are terrible (but getting better, especially in just the past couple years).  

My concern is that I am planning on applying and attending law school after this deployment.

I will be attending graduate school at Ohio State next fall and am looking to start my investing journey!

For a lot of us professionals our highest and best use or hourly rate for that matter is going to our day jobs and doing what we spent all these years going to school to do than messing around building relationships and trying to run remote rentals (especially those in Seattle, California, Hawaii).

Some tax preparers go through an afternoon training and may have just a high school education.

Knowing an area very well (market trends, schools, new developments etc.) can be very beneficial for you and your investments.
