As an international student, can I purchase a property on any way? Or do I need any type of special permissions? since I am not a resident or citizen
Hi, I am a college student starting my Real Estate path and I was wondering if there would be anybody offering any sort of mentorship, internship or any type of help for REI. I am very excited to see whats gonna happen in the next months to hopefully close my first deal, and see how much value I could bring to any mentor.Thank you all!

Hey Gabriel, I agree with everyone's input on this. With wholesaling, you'd do well by putting a lot of effort in your cold calling to find properties that you could work with. I would also recommend that you try to attend your local REI networking groups and meetups, you could gain sources from these.
Connect with as many real estate investors as you can.
You can also consult with lenders, brokers and ask them for suggestions on who might be a good real estate mentor most will be able to provide one.
Try to think of different ways you can add value to that person. What are your strengths? For example are you experienced in social media marketing? Could you offer a mentor some tips? This way its not just a one way street.

@Gabriel Sánchez - many realtors would love to have a college student intern with them in the summer. You could learn A LOT that way about how the market works, what makes a good deal, etc.
I had not thought about that! I will be in the lookout for those opportunities as well. Thanks Rachel!

Owner finance is great to start but I'd focus on earning money and building credit. Could be side hustles or a small business. While you do that attend meet ups, learn and try to find a mentor in the real estate world. Once you get some knowledge and experience look to owner finance. If you find a mentor often you'll be able to jump into REI with that.
Absolutely true, I have been meaning to look for a mentor as well. I will keep looking for one, thank you Caleb!
Quote from @William Sing:
Owner Financing is probably going to be your best bet but know that you will need to do work for it to find off-market deals. If you can find someone who needs some help and see how they do it, that would be ideal. That way you can learn a lot more and see what to avoid and not. I highly recommend going to a local real estate networking event as well!
Hi, I am just a college student with no money looking forward to take action and start my real estate investment journey. I have been watching multiple strategies and videos and I´ve seen that this Owner financing which is wholesaling looks like one of the best options for me, specially since I do not have a capital myself yet. Any comments or experiences about this? I would appreciate it!
Hi, I have some relatives moving to San Antonio, TX and we are looking for some RE agent that could help them find some good options of apartments or houses to move in. Anyone from that area who could help?
Thank you guys.

Hey Gabriel,
I came to the country in an international exchange as well. The main obstacle you are going to have to overcome is that you can't purchase property with a student visa. However, I do know there are other types of visas you can purchase property with some examples are h1b or J1 or diplomatic visas. I bought my first property when I had a H1b visa and had clients that purchases with the other two. Feel free to reach out and I will try to give you more info.
Un saludo!
Joaquin! Thank you for the information. I would definitely like to keep in touch with you. Gracias mi hermano!
