Hello, I am a 2nd year student at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, majoring in Hospitality Management. 

My wife does not work and we have a good amount of "stupid" debt (credit cards/hospital bills/student loans) and very much in savings and fair credit.

I'm re-engaging in real estate because I'd like to supplement my income and make it easier to fund my kids college.

Credit cards, student loans, etc.?

Hi my name is LaKeith Brown and I'm a College student ready to get started in real estate investment and am interested in Flipping houses for profit I've been doing a lot of research for about a year now and am ready to take the dive and get my feet wet... any advice,or local help to get started would be truly appreciated Thank You I look forward to hearing from the BP community 

To be more helpful, here is a simple breakdown of my financial state: -Attending college for PTA degree, no school loans or debt-Working two part-time jobs, wife works as family nanny-A sizable amount in savings (I'd rather not state the exact amount in a public forum)My current thought is to do capitol investments with maybe a local fix-and-flip investor.

So, who would you rather be:Option A: Guy with $25,000 in cash, no debts, and no other assets, and a $50,000 per year salary.Option B: Guy with a $300,000 home, with a $260,000 mortgage, a $30,000 car with a $20,000 loan, $10,000 in his IRA, $15,000 in student loans, and $5,000 in his checking/savings account. $65,000 per year salary.Both have good credit.

I had a similar argument with my PM over Student rentals.

I have been in the construction business since I was 17 including those college years I spent in Denton.I would be interested in helping you any way you think I might.  

I wouldn't increase my RE debt to pay off student loans.
