@Emily AllenYou have gotten some really good advice from @Rob Rice here.

. - Rice University  concentration in Healthcare management and entrepreneurshipBut investing in different real estate training has been far more lucrative and will be in the long run, so has just getting out there and investing, making mistakes, picking myself up and moving along down the road.

I grew up in Anderson Township and currently live in the Terrace Park area.I've been interested in real estate for a few years, but have been focused on my career and have been hopping around between cities.

It seems to be that Thibeault Terrace would be the most popular, based simply on location as it is closest to the campus, how far are students willing to commute?

If youre looking by Weber State then above Harrison blvd is always nice and also south of 34th street into the terrace and surrounding areas such as riverdale and roy are great for buy and hold. just let me know what youre looking for.

@Marc Rice is that even with taxes and insurance already in the mortgage payment?

You can get a little better returns from students if you get just a little farther from the school and rent to grad/med/nursing students who take better care of the property, but there's so many homes close to the school (Tech Terrace - $500-$600/bedroom) and other neighborhoods where you can get a good return as well. 

Mortgage lending has errored more liberal of late, in response to significantly reduced refinance demand (one way to make up for a loss of business in Category A is to loosen guidelines in Category B -- if less people want to buy rice, then increase your pasta offerings in your grocery store, to grow your pasta business, to make up for the decline of rice sales).

@Marvin Rice, I couldn't agree more.
