A small college town with to many apartments, not enough homes.

:1)Find an investor who would double as a source of money for down payment and a cosigner2)Use an FHA loan (3.5% down if I live in a unit) to buy a quad-plex3)Use the 203k aspect of the loan to improve the quad-plex and force appreciation in the property4)Refinance in a year or two to a regular loan and pull equity out to either pay off my outside investor or use equity for another down payment on another quad-plex5)Repeat With this plan, I believe I will be able to cash flow from day one because I will be able to rent out three units to college students around campus who are willing to pay higher rents than most.

Any college students?
