 You should only drop out if you truly believe that college will not help you. You do have a higher chance at getting better jobs with a college degree. Could you get by with an Associate's vs. Bachelor's. Maybe. Than depends on what you plan to do with what you learned.

Welcome to biggerpockets and good luck

 Thanks for the insight John. I think of it like the game cashflow. It is easier to invest when you have a higher paying job then struggling from the bottom. I hope that the saying "more money, more problems" don't come true though. 

 Thanks for the insight Andrew. I am looking to do more real estate in the future. The priority should be going school to be a registered nurse. The hard part is balancing the obsession with my time and studies. Every time I go on the internet, I end up looking at zillow or realtor.com to look at properties.  I was hoping to do something like real estate came after I was done with college. It would be easier to do real estate investing full time and nursing part time because a good handful of nurses work the night shift. 

Need help!!!

Ever since realized the that real estate is one of the best ways to make future, I constantly struggle with focusing on school. I am currently a Licensed Practical Nurse that is going through Registered Nurse school. I got hooked listening on the webinars and constantly get side tracked evaluating deals that are found on the MLS and on biggerpockets. It is driving me nuts because real estate is what I am thinking about and should be concentrating on finishing school, about 18 months more. It sounds kinda weird that I am asking help on this but I love attempting to evaluate deals and looking at the possibilities. Is this possibly just an obsession that I might get over???

I'm down.

Hey Shaun,

Its awesome that you are assisting with Veterans. I thank you, I am a Veteran myself. I would highly suggest to join a REIA or even getting a hold of that guy on Flipping Vegas (It's worth a shot?). It would be awesome to get mentor that could guide you through the process. Watch out for the Gurus though. As long as you aren't paying $40K for training, you'll be fine.

I do agree about using a realtor. 133 David Ct. 78209 seems interesting but I would offer lower, about 10% lower just to see if they would budge a bit. Parking is tight there but nothing the college students can't handle.

San Antonio is very interesting and can be just as lucrative. There are investors down there already pounding the pavement and have keeping their eyes and ears open on deals there. I have spotted a few myself but need to repair my credit right now because of falling for the "guru trap".

I want to get into the Austin or Houston market, but I am more familiar with San Antonio. I could point out areas that are very optimal for buy and hold like FM 78, North Central and Northwest side from 410 past 1604. In Hawaii market, traditional real estate deals dominate the industry.

I went to one of the local REIA meetings and discovered that Hawaii is not for lower budget real estate investing. Like you said earlier in your post about a condo being 300K in Hawaii, I could get a SFH in San Antonio for about 90K.

thank you all for the welcome
