When I was 22, I did a house hack, and I highly recommend it.

You can look on websites like https://www.corporatehousingbyowner.com/search/United-States... and https://www.furnishedfinder.com to see what similar houses are rented for.

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

Need to clean the junk out of house .. hoarder .

Be careful not to violate any Fair Housing laws during this process.

The sellers says it's just college boys and that's to be expected.He's currently getting good rents...as unbelievable as it may seem and if cleaned/fixed up it could make more as well as increase the value of the property.We own several coworking/coliving properties in the US and Mexico, so we are used to hospitality and properties out of state.However, my questions are;Is this a norm for college students, or student housing? 

Any general advice is much appreciated.You should house hack to start.

If I were investing in eastern WA, or where my extended family lives in Pennsylvania, those 100k houses in good condition are a real thing there.  

A lot of our housing stock here has finished basements or in-law suites, so with something like that you can generate significant rental income for an inexpensive conversion. 

We plan to stay in this house for more than 5 years unless another great opportunity arises, but maybe it is best to allocate a bigger portion of savings to our real estate investment savings account than our home improvement savings account for the first few years.
