The story in my town is that the schools are good and it is a very good alternative to the tier 1 cities of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Burlingame, which have reached beyond crazy territory.

Remember - A Realtor has spent money going to school, studying different aspects of real estate including law (which a lot of landlords do not know), we are required by law to continue educating ourselves.

I recently graduated from UC Irvine with a BA in Philosophy and Minor in Political Science.

We usually find these buyers are out of state (typically California) with some nostalgic attachment to the area--either grew up here or went to school here.If you look at the alternatives these two types of buyers have--first time home buyer who qualifies for under $150K and can go FHA, and the California buyer with $100K who wants some degree of geographic familiarity--what are their other investment opportunities that will do better for them if they're not in the business?

I am currently unemployed, as I am studying for various standardized tests for grad school, but if I wanted to further pursue growing my real estate holdings what sort of options might some of you use?  

I've look it up and contacted some of the school around my area.

We were thinking maybe I could go to law school and my wife become the real estate agent.Regardless, I signed up for this site to network and learn more. 

Between completing school and living in Wisconsin as a Research and Development coop for the better part of 2014 the time just doesn't seem right till May.

Right now I'm currently a senior in high school (Naples, Florida).

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.
