I normally rent to students so I usually find the tenants.

But I would think that either a family would take the apartment (husband wife and two children) or college students and single professionals willing to roommate with each other.

.- I am a business student and understand business strategy and accounting.- I work in the multi-family industry and understand current/future needs of scale and sustainability.Please reach out to me or connect with me!

One big thing would be to urge myself to talk to a full-service CPA firm either before or immediately upon acquiring the first rental.

Idylwood near East End is a cute little place that you may like, and could probably get decent roommates that are grad, law, or med students (proximity to all schools). 

Does anyone know anything about ads posted in the craigslist job section advertising, "Real Estate Investing Students Wanted: Local Flippers".

He shared the story of how he has a student in Tulsa who sounds just like your story. 

My husband and I are still on our journey paying off student loan debt, so I figured it would be a few years before we got into the real estate game.

But I myself never had never heard of it when I thought of it and I didn't learn it from anyone else.And after sharing it with hundreds of my mentoring students, not one of them had heard about it.

@Bosko MijatovicIf you get a single family, consider renting it out by the room to the medical students at COMP. renting by the door will increase your cash flow.
