Investing in College Housing Per Room: Tips + Experience?

[Jill Jay]

First & foremost, thank you for any contributions & knowledge shared within this forum :)

I'm a first time real-estate investor in CT & looking to relocate to GA. I'm a big fan of Athens & love the feel. I'm debating purchasing a single family close to UGA & renting out each room. My plan would be to occupy the single family in 1 room or converting it to a multifamily but am not sure the legalities in that. Anyone who has done this or something similar, what are your thoughts?
