If you like to start sooner but will be leaving the country, then you should consider being a Limited partner in syndication. I recommend reading the book "The Hands-Off Investor" by Brian Burke. You can check on verified sponsors/syndicators at https://verivest.com/. They do background checks and track the performance of sponsors so you can invest confidently. Happy Investing!

In addition to that, Syndication allows you to compound your money for years without paying taxes until the property is sold while generating a positive cash flow, so investments will be extremely tax efficient!

@David C. 

I recommend reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller and Never Lose a Customer again by Joey Coleman. The latter might not be 100% real estate but the methodology offered by Coleman has greatly helped us on how we run our property management business and the company.

One book I would suggest is “aggressive tax strategies for the real estate investor”.  It’s an expensive book, but we keep referring to it and it has saved us many thousands of dollars.  It explains concepts in detail that may not be discussed in depth in other places. Such as setting your improvement value when you purchase your property and not taking the tax role with your Cpa.

@Payson Scott

It's great that you are thinking of investing in real estate early on, but you don't need to drop out of college to do that. My brother bought a house his junior year that our parents co-signed on in college and house hacked it with two friends. If I knew as much as I did about real estate investing now I would have definitely tried to figure out how to utilize student loans to acquire real estate. We actually interviewed a lawyer in our podcast who did this, you may want to check out this episode: https://www.westsideinvestorsnetwork.com/podcast/episode/eaf96d30/33-student-housing-acquisitions-with-mark-weinstein. Best of luck and happy investing!
