There are multiple universities nearby if the college crowd is your customer base.  

I'm retired, the kids are done with college [payments are done] and I'm relocating to Florida to protect my pension.

I am going to do a walk-through on a FSOB 3 story triplex (3beds, 1 bath per floor) that is within walking distance of a major college.

So if your higher salary from living in a high cost area offsets the higher housing price, then the necessities of life are only incrementally more expensive...this allows you to have more money to save and invest, or pay down college debt quicker etc.

We're looking for single family or multi family deals in central Ohio college towns like Westerville, Delaware, Granville, Gambier, Yellow Springs and Ashland.

Target industries include IT/data, logistics/warehousing and advanced manufacturing.South Bend being a college town with several Universities/Colleges (Notre Dame obviously being the largest one) creates student housing opportunities for approximately 20,000 plus students among all the institutions.All this spells opportunity and many out of town, out of state and even international investors have and continue to try and claim their stake.As indicated by @Immanuel Price and @Aaron Linden the University of Notre Dame in partnership with the City of South Bend has contributed a lot to the revitalization of the City that is bringing new jobs and the need for new housing.

the biggest issues are that the available tenant base drops dramatically around October and doesn't pick up again till the end of the school year.People are no different than animals in that regard.They want to be settled and hunkered down in a property before the school year and/or bad weather starts.Quality tenants with good financial backgrounds don't want to move their families in the middle of an icy,snowy winter for obvious reasons,and good college students have already started school in August.Many of the few available tenants will have questionable backgrounds like recent job loss,previous eviction,bad credit,difficult income verification and don't make 3 times the rent,criminal records,etc.   

I'm a recent college graduate and started my job about a month ago.

I was 23 when I started and I wanted to get into real estate just to pay my college tuition.

I graduated college just last year and have been really interested in ways to make money other than working for an employer.
