Pastor, new to this concept, but excited to learn more

[Josh Scroggins]

Nice to meet you all!  I pastor a church in Springfield.  My wife and I have been saving for a while for a down payment for our first house.  Instead of buying one for ourselves and our first child, we are looking at purchasing a house in Eugene near the college and renting out rooms to students.  I have heard from another real estate investor in this area that this is the most profitable kind of rental in this area.  We have saved about half what we wanted to have for a down payment, but are mostly waiting for the market to change before entering.  Right now, I'm just learning and exploring. I am curious to see if anyone on this forum has experience with this kind of rental.
