@Gladys Villa we chose to buy a fixer-upper in a great neighborhood, live in it for 2 years while renovating, sell with the tax exemption (now up to $500,000 profit tax free), then repeat until our kids needed more stability for schools.

I am turning 18 in less than 3 weeks and can say I have been a business owner throughout my high school journey, from small local hustles to building products in my basement to sell online.I am an aspiring Real Estate investor reading many books and conducting hours of research hoping to build an impressive real estate portfolio in the future!

Since you have a daughter also check out which neighborhoods have good multifamily stock along with good schools. 

When you're done with school you'll be looking for a job, and you probably don't want to be stuck in your college town.

@William JohnnyCongrats on your graduation.

Haven't seen activity increase like crazy but I think end of August(after school starts) activity will increase before the Winter

I have my primary residence single family home paid off in full Zestimate ~$500K, and no other outstanding loans for cars, schools, credit cards, and in good financial position with 2 years of reserves for expenses, etc.

Alex, We manage properties in many CT towns and cities but the ones we see doing the best:3+ bedroom rentals (usually SFH's): I like CT places with good school systems as families tend to flock to them and stay longer.

I have property at the edge of Lehigh U that I thought would be for students when I first started out there. i quickly realized that student housing, especially in the smaller school, is a totally different business with different expectations and requirements, not to mention yearly turnover and parent involvement.

Reach out the the local grad schools, hospital HR department for incoming doctor residencies, relocation service companies, and see if they will cross market for you.
