I have a few reasons for wanting to invest in real estate;Firstly, the thought of financial freedom has been something that I’ve been striving to achieve since I first heard about it.

I'm a novice college student just like you and I feel Bigger Pockets has been enormously helpful at keeping me motivated toward financial freedom.

My goal and aspirations are to build a portfolio of multi-family rentals in hopes to build financial freedom.

Have discussions with your SO on what each of you wants out of life and see if you have alignment (family, friends, faith, finances, health, career). 

I'm also starting my pre approval process, there will be two borrowers my partner and I, both have solid W2.Our goal is to build a strong portfolio in the next 2 years of small MFH in Indy to ultimately replace our W2 and have more options, I don't see myself quitting a full time job but it's the sense of freedom and having the opportunity to spend time with family and love ones as I will be a married man in a few months :) I also listen to BP webinars religiously, and connect to fellow investors.

My recommendation is to keep the w2 income as long as you can, you can get better financing and health care. 

I am a prospective real estate investor in the Philadelphia, PA area looking to get my feet wet, connect with local professionals, and develop a valuable set of skills to succeed in partnership and individual ventures.A quick SparkNotes about myself - I am a not-so-recent Mechanical Engineer graduate from Drexel University, with a long-term vision of entrepreneurship and establishing true financial freedom.

Just moved to the Philadelphia area, and figured I'm at a good point with financial freedom to start getting involved and learning about real estate.
