I have a theory that with more of the world at peoples fingertips, more people want to "experience" the world before settling down/having kids/buying a house...or they may even decide, through their trekking through the world...that they in fact don't want ANY of those things.

Beaches, international airports, plenty of festivals, nightlife, and culture are at your fingertips. 2) schools are fantastic for the most part.

But if you can’t afford the cost of pursuing a higher level of education (not to mention the painfully increasing costs of tuition), thankfully we live in a time where we have access to so much information/knowledge at our finger tips.

Is this not BiggerPockets, a forum dedicated to learning how to leverage the resources at our fingertips. 

There are tremendous resources at your fingertips so don't hesitate to investigate becasue you, like me, will find that many misconceptions exist across this industry.

The only difference between then and now is the technology and media at fingertips of anyone and everyone.

@Nicholas Brady with the internet and how everything is at your fingertips, is say a degree isn’t important at all.

It can basically produce within any number of miles radius to the subject property most of the key data we need in order to make a decision to pursue or move on to the next multifamily property including demographic data, major employers, cap rate trends, comps and some good prospecting data as well (owner contact info, loan data, when loan is due, interest rates) pretty much everything you need at you finger tips quickly.

AFter the first week in subto you will be overwhelmed with the amount of information you have at your finger tips.

I think you have some of the information already at your finger tips to answer some of your questions.
