College House Hack Dilemma
Hello all, I am a REI investor with two properties located in Fort Worth, Texas. My question is this I am looking to head down to school about 3 hours away for me in the fall as I am a freshman in college. I am dead set on house hacking a duplex out there. The problem comes that even though it will still be cheaper than an apartment is that I am worried even after I move out in 3 years (when I graduate) the property still wont be a positive cashflow as house prices to rent (even with college rents) make it very hard to find a good deal even if you plan on staying red for the next 3-4 years.
Ill likely still get a duplex but I was curious if anyone has any ideas to help mitigate this potential problem.
