First of all I want to say thank you very much for spending so much time to educate all of us further on real estate investing. I watched your BRRRR webinar and I learned 500x more than I thought I would of. I do not have money to upgrade to Pro right now because I am currently a senior in college.
I have one question for you. I would love to start investing and I am not sure where to get started. Would you have any suggestions for possible internships that would help me understand all these concepts deeper? Or maybe a possible job that would educate me deeper?
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks again for your help so far!

Not sure if this is the advice you want but it's the honest advice that I will give. Real estate is an investment. Like all investments it is not for sure deal. Be prepared to lose money. We all have lost money on a deal or two. Or at least had to spend some, then took some time to recover it. We all made more mistakes when we were less experience and just starting out. As you said, you are in college and don't have the money to invest. So what I would recommend you use this this time to learn on someone else's dime. Go volunteer (or better yet get a job) with a developer or property management company. Partner up with the right person that will share all that is involved (expenses and revenue) and you will learn more than any college class you are taking now. Keep doing that and you will fall into a deal that will be less risky for you. Maybe your mentor will finance the deal for you and take a percentage to mentor you??? Either way. There is much to this business but it is not brain surgery. You can learn all you need to know by rolling up your sleeves and shadowing someone that is successful at it. The money will come if you spend the time now learning. Good luck !
