Well, I'm planning on renting first and pay round $800/month on rent. I pay $1800 in rent & Utility currently so I'd be saving a grand on that.

I spend 3K/month right now, I'd say I'd be paying at the most 2K/month out there so I have roughly 18 months in savings.

Go for it.

You’re relatively young & single. Might as well give it a shot if it’s what you really want to do.

So you're gonna flip houses, and you won't have a steady income when you get there... meaning you'll have maybe 10k to invest in your flipping business? I'm probably missing something but the numbers don't add up.

And real estate, as was already said, is an industry that requires a lot of leg work to get your business going.

If you lived as frugal as possible over the next year with your current job, how much could you save?

No, I'm going to become a licensed agent. I mentioned flipping houses as a future type of thing, just like marriage and kids.

I'm not looking to flip houses anytime soon. I would, however, like to buy a home within the next year which seems pretty realistic.

Why on earth would you move away from one the most expensive areas in the country to sell real estate in Arkansas?

Your commission on one bay area house could equal a year or more of selling homes in Arkansas.

If it were only that easy. It's super saturated. You're lucky if you close 3 deals in a year, and it's also expensive to live yourself.

My friend became an agent and she has to literally ask all of her friends parents because nobody in their 20's or early to mid 30's is looking to buy a home out here. Too expensive.

I know it ain't a walk in the park. I have a plan, and a niche I think I can do well in. I've got a good base on Instagram, 500 followers so far and I'm not even an agent yet. Just setting things up for me.

C'mon man I know it takes more than that. But I can only do so much untl I actually move there and pass and receive my license.

Forget flipping houses. That ain't happening until down the line when I accrue more experience.

You should clearly start by asking a college forum and then make an educated decision.
