You can buy a little time  but I would attend to it within the year.

I am a recent college grad and now a new realtor (full time) and also am an actor, so I do not have a W2 - from what I have heard not having a full time job for 2 years results in difficulty finding any loan.

My college buddy helped educate me on this opportunity and made it clear how it is a win-win for myself!

I'd like to go to the local community college and brush up on plumbing, electrical,etc. so I can do that preventative maintenance when tenants are turning (that means on my watch lol). 

Thank you @Andrew Freed and @Wendell Butler Really Appreciate your recommendation for @Brian J Allen and yes, I just signed to attend the meetup event on 10/27/21 06:30P Looking forward to seeing you all there, thank you!

I'm a college student at UIW in San Antonio Texas and I'm wondering what y'all would recommend I do when just getting started, I want to get my first property in the next year and a half, what advice would y'all give me on accomplishing that.

Commercial is a heavy lift in the application stage but once the deal is underwritten, you're done, no last minute surprises because you bought a new living room set on a new credit card or made a college tuition payment :)  Also, terms can be negotiated and very favorable (extend the years or reduce the down payment for a slightly higher rate and if the numbers still work...hooray!).

I also runs a motorcycle repair shop on the side and I teach occasionally at the local college.

Avoid their free YouTube videos, their offers of newsletters, special reports and especially avoid attending their free introductory meeting or workshop.Then go ahead and decide if real estate investing is something you want to pursue.A MUCH better idea than starting as a “wholesaler” is to obtain your license and become a real estate agent.Becoming and agent has the following advantages over trying to wholesale1.
