I went to college at Oklahoma City University.

I'm originally from Surfside Beach though I haven't lived their since I left for college.  

However, when an LLC owns the property, it will not be in your personal name, which can result in higher interest rates on financing.This is just food for thought to give you a full 360-degree perspective on the topic.

I don't care what your political affiliation is (believe it or not this comes up a lot with my investors), but a LOT of people are gung-ho on Texas as a state and lots of businesses are migrating there as well.Strategies can include buying properties near: major businesses/plants and colleges.

I just graduated college and I start a new job next month as a Project Engineer for a multifamily construction company.

I've seen lenders exempt years spent in college as "work history" but the borrower would still need to have sufficient funds/reserves and a solid credit score. 

I rent 3 of the bedrooms to my college boys and I break even on the mortgage.

As an example, I could get $1700 for a 2 bed/ 2 bath near Girard College back in 2018.

I see you mentioned student housing, if you are planning on investing around a college or university definitely check if said university has any information! 

For instance, Iḿ sure in Congress Heights DC, you could get a property that is in distress; add value and accurately break even or lose a small amount for a short lived, precise degree of time.
