Will I be in a position to invest in Real Estate?

Evan Alexakos
Posted

Hello everyone,

I've been delving into real estate research and plan to continue to do so going forward; however, I'm wondering if my current goals are illogical. I want to use real-estate as a secondary income source and I, following my plan, should have $20,000 to put towards a property next year. 

The problem arises with financing, I'll still be in college with only a part-time job so banks would be unwilling to give me loans (under the assumption that banks want a full-time job). What can I do to reach my goal? Should I re-assess?

Thanks in advance!

Buy the book "Investing in Real Estate with Low (And No) Money Down" for ideas. Most of them are advanced and I wouldn't recommend unless you are experienced and have a good safefty net.
