Graduated from UW Madison with a business real estate degree but never actually used it.I have been going to the local sheriff sale in Dane county for the past year and have bid on numerous properties but have been outbid.  

At the time, I was a full-time student at Stevenson University, overpaying for an education.

Poor neighborhood but extremely close to several colleges, universities and hospitals.

While there are stories about rules which apply to dealer definition like less than 3 per year or holding for more than one year, those are not entirely correct nor universally applicable.  

I have also listened to every podcast multiple times.To give everyone a little background on myself: I recently withdrew from an accelerated combined undergraduate/graduate degree program after the first year of the MBA portion for reasons I will discuss below, and subsequently was awarded a Bachelors Degree in Business.  

Here's my situation: I have one more year left at The Ohio State University before I graduate.

I joined bigger pockets to gather as much info as possible before I start to invest.I graduated from UIC( University of Illinois at Chicago) about a year ago wit bachelors in finance.

Advantages: The entire area is new development, so there is no run down areas or neighborhoods; the complex has a club house and a pool, which is attractive to tenets; the HOA covers all of the outside maintainence; they are building a campus extension of a local university; close to interstate;  plans for business development in the area are extensive.  

We are in Miami, outside is 95 degrees. 

I am 22 years old and a Marketing Major at Kutztown University.
