It’s less than 15 minutes by car from two major universities (Towson & Morgan) and just a 7-minute walk from a shuttle that services both campuses.I plan to rent the property by the room, targeting mainly college students due to its proximity to the schools.

Some background on me - I went to college with a degree I thought I was gonna use, thought I wanted to apply to PT school, but soon after I graduated I had a massive change of heart and decided that I no longer wanted to pursue that route anymore because I felt my future was so much brighter than to be stuck working day and night in that kind of profession.

A lot of people who learn the theory of multifamily investing are often taken aback when they graduate to the real world by how deals seemingly don't work.

I was thinking about doing real estate sales on the side as a sort of part time hustle while I'm in school and working my w-2 but that's great to know.

I don't often speak to peoples background but in this case it's important and I would be surprised if half of them graduated Highschool.

@Matt Powers  Have you done any training, schooling in real estate investing? 

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

Schools are not great.I would not consider that area anywhere close to AT&T stadium, but maybe closer than CA. 

This is verified based on the good schools, department stores opening up (Costco, Target etc.) as well as verified investment from Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys owner) and the city to grow the population.

I've heard horror stories that it's usually impossible due to the "burden placed on the municipality" but could really never understand what that burden was... most people living in those units wouldn't be using the school systems so aside from maybe an increased volume in emergency medical situations I can not understand that statement?
