Hi Akash,There are numerous options for portfolio programs but the main requirement is equity, or large down payment, not a relationship with the lender.  

@Anthony Colonnetta one thing you could do to at least get your feet wet while you finish college (which I highly recommend you do, always have a backup plan and education is an excellent Plan B or C), is to invest those $15,000 with a local partner and you can start growing that money faster than any other investment vehicle.

I just want a couple of rentals to get my feet wet

If you are new to real estate, I would focus on wholesaling only and forget buy and holds for now until you get you feet wet.

Water from the leakage poured down through the walls, the restroom ceiling is also wet but hasn't come down yet and part of the other unit restroom wall is also wet (that unit is not rented currently, I was in the process of updating it cosmetically) I have some questions here and a dilemma: I'm about to get an estimate from a restoration company to repair all the damaged property, they're saying it will be more than 7 grand for sure.

Having listened to numerous Bigger Pockets podcasts, I am just itching to further my way into this area.
