Currently live in California. 

I'm curious of the current market demand for student housing and appeal to rental investors.

The current locations are Frisco, Garland, Richardson, McKinney, and Plano.

Currently the other unit is empty and wasn't sure how to handle the taxes regarding this, so I am looking for refences of an accountant in the Phoenix Metro who does house hack taxes.If you have any other pieces of advice or wisdom for landlord and tenant rights it would be greatly appreciated. 

The 1 mile income radius could be misleading in either way to the positive or negative if the property is on the right or wrong "side of the tracks" so to speak.The 80% occupancy, if it's solely due to the mismanagement of the current owner could be an opportunity. 

My name is Anthony and I am currently a full-time healthcare professional. 

Here’s how I’d break it down and strategize your entry point.Key considerations include the current and pro forma cash flow.

The one guy I spoke with said they make money only when they sell to potential investors and they only sell new construction homes that are usually pre-leased to buyers (currently they are building in Texas state and Missouri State).

However, what I don't know is how long have you been in your home (how much equity do you have in the home) and what is your current interest rate.  

Just looking at Zillow I’m having a hard time making the numbers work between prop taxes, insurance, management on 20% Down vs cash currently earning 5% (albeit that 5% going away soon with rate cuts)  To be completely honest, there's not much right now that will give you decent cashflow without getting into a full rehab.
