I started this MBA program before I gained interest in REI but since I seriously want to become an investor I believe that it may be wise to put my efforts elsewhere and have more faith in my ability to generate the income I want without spending more money for that degree.

@Anna Markowski a LOT of people (including the older generation) bought one or two rental properties, paid it off over 20/30/40 years, and sold it for a huge profit along with making some money along the way.

Most likely the best course of action would be to rent out a room and try to generate some cash flow.

On the inside it is easy to tell kids would come in and hang out and get wild as there were dozens of liquor bottles and cigarette butts strewn throughout all the units.The carpet was horrendously stained with God knows what but luckily it didn't smell as bad as it could've thanks to no windows :) Holes in all the drywall and most faucet heads missing.

Since I did not have the ability to generate my own leads back then it was a win-win.
