Springfield is known for its multiple colleges in the area.

I am familiar with Dublin and Grove City, but would love to learn of other area.I would say a blend- Cash flow is key and ideally would like a property to appreciate to some degree.

We have three children; two in college, one leaving for college next year.

So, somehow, even though I'm an experienced professional, successful, full-time real estate investor, who has paid him to show me the ropes about Notes, I am responsible for college level knowledge while I'm still in grade school?

Doesn’t solve the problem of budget but it would help solve stupid (to a degree at least).

Looks like you had it coming to some degree.

Getting a bit tired of my current job (first out of college) given the demanding hours and really motivated to transition into making Real Estate investing a full-time occupation for me.

I'm an out of state investor and I purchased a duplex in May (Fayetteville Arkansas next to the college).

So on May 6th of this year, I started my real estate journey after a very rough first year of college.
