Graduating college soon what is the best way to go

[Kylin Washington]

Hey guys Kylin checking in! I am a student athlete at Missouri state in Springfield Mo. I’m graduating this December with a degree in Econ and minor in marketing. I would like to be a full time real estate investor weather that be wholesaling, fix and flips , then eventually being a landlord. I am continuously watching and Studying real estate videos from max maxwell to BiggerPockets ofcourse, very interested in wholesaling and Househacking to begin my investment career also the Brrrr strategy for future investments. My biggest concern is finding the best way to approach and utilize the time I am going to have in this upcoming Semester until May when my college apartment lease ends and I move back to the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. Does anyone have any advice for me or some steps I can take to get my first deal also what’s a good job to have that would allow me the time to stay involved with real estate but utilize my degree? Right now with football and school I am very limited on time but I try to analyze deals as often as I can. With graduation coming up i plan to hit the ground running and have more time to do this If anyone is in the Springfield area, or even Dallas/Fort Worth area i am ready and able to help for anything.

@Kylin Washington I spent a few years after college using my degree and have made substantially more just focusing on real estate. The people that I work with have taught me so much, most importantly how to make money from my money. That said, regardless of what you do in your day job, make sure that you're utilizing your personal home as an investment. I would start working with an investment-focused realtor now so that you can start browsing deals and have a property bought by the time you move home. 

That said, if you don't have income or credit as @Calvin Ozanick brought up, as soon as you graduate I'd go get a job and connect with a lender. Make a plan with that lender and follow the steps outlined to get prequalified for a house hack. You'll only have to save 3.5% down and then you'll have your first property!
