Through my current profession I was able to get into a loan repayment program and pay off $70k in student debt.  

I am a college student, debt free, with 10k in the bank.

are you looking to purchase for student rental at KSU?

Students are required to live in approved housing.

By that time you'll be out from under your student loans.

There a great many benefits when investing near the university- its the largest employer in Cincinnati, student population growing 6%/yr, I've had 0 vacancy, it's just 2 mi from over the rhine(think silver lake) and downtown, it presents cash flowing deals while well in the path of appreciation, and every major hospital in the city is within 1mi.

At least that background gives me a leg up on analyzing deals.At 168 hours, I figure that's a pretty cheap "entry cost" to figure out in more certainty whether or not I want to be in the industry as a profession.

I've done the math and after we sell, we could make $50-55k after closing costs/fees which would take care of my wife's student loans and help with a down payment on a nicer house that we could see ourselves in long term. 

My focus is to buy and hold student rentals and/or multifamily properties.

That school is growing and more students are going to need a home to call their for years to come.
