I just recently graduated this May from Penn State with a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering, but no longer want much to do with design engineering lol.

My husband has a good career but we have always been interested in real estate investing (I have a background and degree in economics and small business).

I buy properties that are in locations that I believe have excellent prospects, and I buy only when I have a personal financial position capable of withstanding even a crash to the degree of the great depression. 

My brother got his phd in engineering and was able to buy right away, since his degree was in the same "field of endeavor" as his job.  

I have one year left before I receive my bachelor's degree. 

You are talking about a 25 degree change or more in the summer. 

I have one more semester left and I am planning on house hacking a four-plex right after getting my degree.

I figure I'll start off by saying that I'm ex-Navy and I read Kiyosaki somewhere in the middle of the Pacific ocean, in a 110 degree engine room.

My heat pump will not produce warm air if it is below 40 degrees out side.

Try as they might to be objective, appraisals are still subjective to a degree.
