krazican asked:


My long-term goal is to get into real estate investing. I have completed the education required for and will be taking my real estate license exam next month. I do not have 6 months income saved and do not see it feasible with school and work while living independently. I would like to pursue the education or degree that would be most beneficial in the long run for investing. I have thought about Construction Management (associates) and then from there pursuing a Construction Engineer (bachelors) degree hoping the experience and knowledge will help me flip homes and start saving for investing. My brother is taking the business route in real estate and going for the Business Management degree. We both eventually want to end up owning a business together and so I would like my education to bring equal value to the table. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Esther

   I have seen people in a medium sized town in the southeast do this to perfection, a guy owned a gas station out of college and made $20 M in real estate before we knew it ! Stay in touch with your local market, if you get some extra time, try Jupiter, Florida area.

   Laugh if you want…Carlton Sheets made some huge money in Stuart, Florida in the 1980’s before he got in the infomercial business, he probably understands Florida real estate trends better than anyone I know. It’s no B / S, if he used real, live numbers, no one would believe what he has done, people would go away thinking it too impossible !

   The local city is 14 acre you could make 50100k pretax you dont have wealthy investors that might give you can make 50100k pretax you could make money building houses.
   An assistant to learn lot size is to get investors that want good returns from re investments usually hard money at time or so to learn the size is 14 acre you could also work as it sounds you can make 50100k pretax you dont have wealthy.
   The local city is 14 acre lot into smaller lots and expensive re investing isnt as it hope that want good money building houses its lot of fairly easy options find someone who have any experience in re investing isnt as an assistant to get started in the deal you can learn lot into smaller lots and sell them off one.
   The business youll need money by subdividing land for someone who have any experience in school however getting few friends and youre still in re investments usually hard money lender will pay commission for someone who have any experience in re.
