Buy and Hold

Howdy!  We own one investment property in College Station, TX (CS), home of Texas A&M University 'Gig 'Em.  We currently have both our college students and one renter in that 3 br, 2 bath home.  It is in an area that is growing and where I believe we will attract young families or college students once our children graduate.  I would like to acquire a few more (at least 2) additional properties in College Station for the rental income to have options regarding the 9 to 5 once our children graduate.  

I'm here to learn more about the best way to acquire profitable properties but I'm very debt adverse, how to learn more about my desired market and managing properties (or hiring that out).  So basically I want to learn A-Z for buy and holds.

Welcome ,owning property in a college town can very profitable the risk is of course college students can tear up the property .I have noticed rentals in college towns can get great rent and still be in bad shape kids don't care for them it is the location .

My son is at college renting basically renting a dump with 4 other students paying top dollar, the house is close to the Engineering building he walks to class.
