@Jonathan Greene, I enrolled in a real estate investment class and I have been attending webinars online and listening to real estate investing podcasts for newbies.

Looking for some advice on how to prepare/get started in the real estate investment world as a young college student without much money.

Does anyone have any advice for a college student such as myself on the best strategies to use to get started while still in school, but don’t have a lot of money.

I only had money to buy a 1-bed condo at the time, and I had some mental issues to sort through and the SFH within my budget at the time were in areas that was far away from the hopsital I was attending regularly so in short, I bought the condo. 

I tried to go to Foothill Community College and I was even in their Fire Department as a volunteer to help pay for it when a Councelor called me into her office to ask me what I wanted to go to College for?

Would love for you to attend our next meetup! 

I waited tables HS and college.

She is very nice, polite and has a good job and is going back to college to better herself for her and her child. 

Since the prices of homes are so high in California, purchase a home you can afford with your pre-approval letter with the most bedrooms you can find, then you live in the master and rent the other rooms out to college students, young professionals, single people, etc.This will help you break even for your mortgage payment/could potentially make money each month.

They would rather lend money to a new investor purchasing a first rental property who has fulltime job as a bar attender and making 50k a year then to a real state investor who has a portfolio and lives off their self made income.
