First Multi Home purchase in College

[Mitchell Behm]

Hello,

So I have this idea to buy a duplex/triplex in my college town near my hometown. I want to buy a decent home, live in one side and rent out the other units. I was wondering if anyone has done this before because the houses around here are pretty old, and also mostly college kids live here. I could rent the units out to friends I know that will respect the property for at least one year. Should I continue to pursue this? I currently go to college at the college here, and I have a year and a half left until I graduate and plan getting a job near here, but that could change at any time.
