I've found its pretty hard for folks to get comfortable with a purchase out of state if they haven't seen the general areas that they think they'd like to buy in.While I love where your heads at - best thing you can do right now is likely focusing on saving cash, REI education, paying off loans, and enjoying your last year of school!

I have been leaning towards LTR with my education, but STR seems to make sense in the scenario. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I'll also invite you on here to some education based Investor meetups coming up so look out for that!

I'm an investor, and represent as Director of Education, Equity Trust Company, which is the custodian for Self-Directed retirement accounts, and then also Equity 1031 exchange, a QI. 

Once the deal details are reviewed, it helps our lenders assess the type of property and strategy we use and how successful we are in it.If you wanted to deep dive on your own, you can always check with county records on fillings, operators' good standing records from state where incorporated etc as well.

It turns their negative review into an opportunity to educate the public on how we deal with difficult customers, which reflects well on us.

I do hold a realtor license in FL that I dont use to often, but has been a great education tool and benefit for my own personal transactions. 

It’s new to me so I will educate myself on DSCR.
