College sophomore hoping to invest ASAP

Hi all, I recently joined the BP forums and am hoping to get some guidance on what I should do now as a college student to prepare myself to begin investing in real estate as soon as possible. I have spent lots of time learning about different markets and asset classes through various resources for a while now but I certainly am far from being able to say that I feel confident in my ability to go through with any sort of investment (if I had the $). If anyone has any advice at all for me or would be able to find a time to chat with me it would mean the world and I'm certainly willing to work/assist in any way in trade for experience.

Hey Dan,

Glad you've decided to get started! I would recommend wholesaling as it's a low cost to entry. You'd be able to make some money and provide value to other investors by delivering them deals. :) Also, see if there are any meet ups in your area. Starting to network has a ton of value!

How expensive is real estate in your area? Could you buy something to house hack?
