I'm looking at investing in college rentals that are single-family houses rented by the room that are zoned multi-family.

I'm also a college graduate with honors in business that emphasized real estate. 

I'm in the Norwood area (with 3 commuter rail stops on the Franklin T Line) and $5-6 might buy you a smaller/older multi with 2-3 units.I would highly recommend you explore the Franklin area (Also on the Franklin T Line) as property prices are lower, there is a bustling down town, there is a growing college and there are is a large office park.

My goal is to have 500 cash flowing units by age 35 and i'm currently 19 years old. ( I will be uploading picture soon) Thinking in reverse I plan to do this buying my first property while in college whether that be single family or a duplex, as my months of research have deemed that this area isn't as strong as others when it comes to 2-4 units.

Does anyone have experience investing in college towns?

I used to live a few doors down from the troll under the bridge (you'll find out) when I was going to college back in the day. 

I'm also a first generation college student and I will be graduating in a year.

Hey there, I’m a new invester right out of college with no debt and a career in my field.

I'm looking into purchasing a SFH in a local college town that needs to be rehabbed and perform a BRRRR with it (Buy, Rehab, Refinance, Rent and Repeat). 

Having rules and enforcing it is also good.For example, I did shared housing during my college years.
