I know it's been a minute since you posted this but I'm just reading it. Have you done any MF student housing in the Southeast? I'd be interested to hear which areas you favor for that if so...

Hi everyone. I'm new to real estate investing but have been interested in the subject for a few years. My daughter will be going to college later this year and this has prompted me to begin in earnest learning about student housing with the goal of owning my first property by the time she matriculates.

Who are the thought leaders and teachers around student housing here? Any specific blogs, people or places I need to plug-in to learn? Any books well reviewed on the subject?

Thank you for your advice,

Kurt Eaton

the people who have invested in STR in Gatlinburg and other, well established, vacation destinations would have a different opinion I believe. I think the key is selecting a very mature vacation market where those issues have been decided.

@Joe Prillaman complete global domination. I like it... ;-)

@Ken Boone good perspective. Thanks.

Hi. I'm new to this and currently educating myself on deal analysis, finance and other basics. My question is whether I should pursue a short-term vacation rental property or a traditional SF home (or small 1-4 unit multi) for my first deal? It would seem to me that the ROI & cash flow are more appealing on the STR; am I missing something? What are the pros and cons of each?

Thanks in advance for any advice...

Kurt
