Wouldn't it be nice, if there was a way to leave college with a degree AND a the start of a nest egg? Well it's posible and I believe Real Estate is the best vehicle to make it happen.
Simple plan really purchase a home your first 2 years of school. Most students don't realize that they could do this. All it takes is a decent credit score, and a few roommates. So you locate your home your Realtor writes the offer for some seller contribution, your have your roommates sign leases for the spare rooms, you show this against th mortgage to qualify, and there you go. Welcome to the wonderful world of home-ownership.
Now I know that sounds a little to good to be true, and honestly the way that was worded may have made it sound like this happens over night, but below I'll give a realist example of the outline of how you can accomplish this:
Enroll in school
Get a secured or student credit card from the bank you bank at, DO NOT MAX IT OUT! Simple use it in place of your debit card to aproximately half the balance each month and pay it off EVERY MONTH.
After 6-7 month good credit go back to your same bank and get a small couple hundred/ thousand dollar personal loan, put the month in savings and make double payments to have it paid off within 6 months.
