The best areas where you can still find good deals in Tampa.The first is University Square, high in diversity low in cost of living, and it is ideal for new families and young students that are just getting started.

All of my properties are within 20 minutes of my house, and the bulk of them are within 10 minutes of my house because they are within a mile of the university, which was my target area and I'm 10 minutes from the university. 

Jason Setty at Universal Title White Marsh has been great to work with on a couple of deals that I've done with non US residents. 

One thing to consider if the property is near the university, is do you want to rent to college students. 

I was thinking that in a hot spot, I would always have renters -near a university, Nashville, Austin, Atlanta, Denver...etc.

I turned my car into "car university" as I heard suggested on the Bigger Pockets podcast.

@Ross Dailey I’m an ABQ investor (not I’m student housing) but from what I’ve heard there is a strong demand in student housing especially around the university.

Hi all,Do any of you all have experience investing in university or college campuses?

Pest control is a biggie, too.I married a first gen immigrant, and while we were dating, he lived in grad student housing that was mostly occupied by international students, and I also had friends growing up living in married student housing at another major university. 

Mine is a single family home with a long term tenant, never gave me any problems likely because the laws are in my favor, and it’s close to the University of Notre Dame.
