Cameron, RSMeans books is what some professional and college courses teach.

College town, right?    

I am a 26 year old Army Veteran and Junior in college, very interested in using my VA loan to purchase a duplex and house hack, live in one unit and rent the other, as my first real estate investment.

Currently own & manage 4 SFR in College Station.

Pure cash flow - Westwood, Delhi, Avondale, College Hill, Price Hill and other C class areas.

Whoever is responsible for this I applaud you.http://www.10tv.com/article/11-year-old-girl-saves-money-college-flipping-houses

After college I worked as a construction estimator for a high-rise developer in Toronto, and currently VP of a civil general contractor in Sarnia, ON.We cashed out of the city life a number of years ago and split the proceeds to by our own home and our first rental property. 

My wife and I are moving to a college town in Texas next year.

(Mostly college students)What you see does not cost me anything.
