Hello! My name is Rajat Shrestha, I'm 18 and about start my first year of college at Colorado State University. I'm studying Interior Design and Construction Management. This is what lead me to consider real Estate investing, as well as several books I've read on financial education. I'm anxious to learn as much as I can so I can begin investing in real estate. There is much I do not know, like whether someone like me with no job experience currently or credit history can even invest right now. But I'm willing to learn from anyone and aspire to be very successful in real estate as well as my interior design career. I realize I need to build assets a long with having income from a job that I love. I'll listen and engage with anyone who is willing to talk!

@Rajat Shrestha Awesome that you're getting on top of things SO early man. I'm sure there are many that envy you right now for having the wits about you to get into something like investing at age 18.
I'm 24 myself and I can't even begin to tell you how valuable those 6 years are, and even I am still young!
What aspects of real estate are you particularily interested in?

Well going into interior design in college, homes have always interested me because you can create my mood and feel you want in a house. But also real Estate investing I found is less risky and more profitable than many other investment types (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) just because you have more control. I mainly want to build a good asset early and have some type of cashflow so I can eventually accumulate more wealth and not just be relying on one job to keep me financially stable. And thank you for your reply and encouragement! I really appreciate it, you've given me more hope that what I'm looking at isn't totally hopeless haha
