I'm 19 years old, got my real estate license after graduating from high school hoping it would make the transition easier to get into investing (before I knew about wholesaling) and it didn't.

Shop for something you can afford, and if your disciplined and save money every month you could in fact put the wheels in motion for owning your own home.Advise: If you credit is damaged find yourself a good "Partner" and offer them some experience and put some skin in the game... say cash for a down payment  ;) The numbers:2B/1B, 1275 SQFT Huge Detatched 2 car garage.Asking price 100KMarket price 120KWe bid 85K( Someone else bid)Changed our bid to 100KThey countered 102KWe drew a line in the sand and stuck to 100KGot credited 5K+2500K in closing.We settled at 95KPut 10K down and have a 85K loan @ 4.375The house needs 15K in repairs.The location is in the best part of town, has 6 schools in less then 2 miles.

I attribute that to kids starting school.  

I graduated from college with a BA in Liberal studies and a minor in Communication.

Good Afternoon Everyone,I will be investing in real estate upon graduation from college in Summer 2015.

@Michael Sherwood I would love to move back and invest if the rest of my life (wife, job, schooling, etc.) makes it possible.

Hey everyone,My name is Leon Evans Jr. and I just graduated from the University of Florida with my B.S. in Mathematics.

You need to find out a little information like: employment in that area, school ratings, commute to area that have jobs, potential business/companies coming to the area, and how many properties are rentals to own.  

There are also big employers (Dell) and awesome schools. 

I'm just amazed at the schools of fish that follow these cruisers and the number that bite, even to the extent of inquiring more about some system as if there is some education offered.
