Our properties are on the West side of town, close to Hughes Stadium.  

For as long as I can remember there have been attempts to revitalize downtown (new baseball stadium, attempts at getting a Bass Pro Shop, closing the Fulton mall, plans to re-open the Fulton Mall, etc) and nothing seems to have worked to date.  

If still a few years, I would suggest you buy something in the outskirts of Bloomington [near campus is too expensive for the most part] - even though I have seen some REO 4 unit properties near the stadium that would be great to house hack.Otherwise, look for HUD and other REO homes around the edge of town or even Elletsville.If you commute from Columbus, then pick up a low cost REO there and go through the process - you will learn tons.Also, Brad Grayson is a speaker/trainer and successful landlord [over 200 SFH] from Columbus as well - I would suggest you seek him out and go to an event that he is speaking at.At 19, I would start ASAP.  

The Raiders could conceivably play one preseason game a year at Sam Boyd Stadium before moving to Las Vegas permanently.

Google fiber just went in there and the royals stadium was great 

Actually, as I'm typing this message at my desk, I'm about 20 minutes from DKR stadium.

How's that new stadium?

Thanks.Country town, 4 lane road to the city, one mile to town, new high school, ymca, new stadium, craft beer, winery, top 100 pizzeria in the US, asking price is high for here, but normal for the region, covenants require minimum 2,000 sq ft, 5G internet, walk out terrain, 100 year oak trees, farm/creek behind each, streams/creeks, etc.Glenwood, IowaJourneys End Subdivision.

I also do many projects in the NELA area (around Dodger stadium).

There is a lot to do in Chattanooga- museum, aquarium, baseball stadium, theater, downtown shopping, plus Atlanta and Nashville are only 2 hours away.
