Finding Potential Rental Properties

[David T.]

Hey everyone,

I am in the process of reading the How-To Guides on this site. Recently graduated college, and I want to have everything planned out when I do have the cash. 

I plan to buy and hold a multi-family house or multi-bedroom as my first. Also, I want to buy around colleges because I feel like I could easily get good tenants. 

I was thinking about financing through FHA loan, but the downside is that I have to live in one of the units. Not my plan.

I have been searching on Zillow to get a feel and in hopes of a house on foreclosure, but doesn't seem like too many options.

I haven't read exit strategies yet, but I'm gonna be in deep trouble if I don't find a tenant.

By the way I started reading up on all of this 2 days ago.
