Virginian Realizes 30000 From Real Estate While in College
David Falk, a Hampton, Virginia native attending the University of Wisconsin, turned an initial $5000 gift into about $30000 through real estate ventures near Madison. He bought and remodeled a men’s rooming house, acquired 47 acres, subdivided and sold sections, and later bought another house. Falk, aged 21, balanced studies in dairy husbandry with student government, fraternity life, and crew, married sociology student Arlene Plotkin, and plans to buy a farm with his earnings as he nears graduation. He posted a D in one real estate course but otherwise carried average grades.
