Have you considered investing in major southern college towns such as Austin, TX, Fayetteville AR, Tuscaloosa AL etc?

One of my sons is starting college in Eau Claire WI in one week, and I plan to purchase a 2-4 unit property in Eau Claire within 8-10 months for his residence next year. 

I have rented to college students that swap tenants, and I informed them that the deposit is to be worked out between themselves, and I am NOT returning any deposit for a renewal.  

The post and local colleges will keep this area inhabited. 

I am fresh out of college and began my career and a teacher this year.

I used to spend my summers in high school and college working construction for my father's remodeling company, so i guess you can say being a handy man is in my blood.We really interested in investing our money in real estate as opposed to the stock market because our wealth SHOULD be dependent on our passion and abilities over the economy.

I also went to college, not that it is mandatory, and I got a business degree with real estate emphasis.  

The good thing about Bradford is that it still has a healthy amount of multi fam's, as well as demanding a bit of a rental premium, and I feel that I would be able to focus almost exclusively in Bradford for purchases for a very long time.Let me know if there's something you'd want me to elaborate further on with regards to picking an area.As far as Worcester area, I used to live there when I first graduated college, 3-4 years ago. 

I am a college student who is going to be partaking in the journey of real estate/real estate investing when I get out of college.

I also just finished college and I'm at basically at the same spot as you.
