How early should I invest as a 20 year old?

[Austin Brummett]

Hello! My name is Austin and I am entering my senior year of college at University of Connecticut! I am a division 1 athlete with an interest in investing in real estate. I have some money saved up from sponsorships and other investments. How early would you suggest that I start investing in real estate and in what form do you think is best for someone graduating college soon.

Congrats on graduating from college soon. Just given the information that you provided, I would say buying a house where you can rent out rooms or a separate apartment is a great way to start.

I believe @Gowtham Yenduri graduated from UConn and he is investing in real estate. Not sure how active he is on BP, but you might be able to get some insight from someone who was in a similar position.
