I want to graduate college with a concentration in real estate also.

I'm from Longview, WA, though Longview, TX always pops up for me on the Internet.  

Properties are located in a beautiful region of the Catskill Mountains, several within one mile of the Delaware River.Properties are located in three townships: Callicoon, Delaware and Fremont.Properties are concentrated in the southern tier of New York State in and around the Marcellus Shale, the largest shale plate in the US, often called the “Saudi Arabia of natural gas."

Things I want to do in the next year are:1) Save money (do this anyways)2) Read Read Read- been reading this blog, realestateinyourtwenties.com, books and more books. 3) Connecting with people via internet- I could have some interviews and meetings with people as early as Christmas break when I visit home, thanks to my Uncle who is already successful in the DFW area. 4) Possibly get my Real Estate salesperson license- This is more of a question.

Kwame would prefer to do this full time after retirement as his fulltime 'job', so we have been ordering books and hitting the internet to read as much as possible.We look forward to the wealth of knowledge and information here on this site, and always willing to learn from members willing to share information.We have not determined where we will live after retirement but our options are Florida or Texas.

I'm probably part of the generation for new buyers coming, and some of us are internet savy on the differences in building materials (at least in my area). 

I did get an application from a couple that seemed very eager, loved the place, but my spidey sense went off about them and doing a bit of internet sleuthing, I found out half of the stuff on their application was a lie, their current “landlord” was really her sister who they were living with, etc… Dodged a bullet with that one.

I would target a neighborhood that is big enough for you to concentrate on that one area - get really really great at one square mile, for example.I would spend enough time in the neighborhoods to determine where I wanted to live and where there is the best opportunity for appreciation and clustering properties.
