While I did look into the PM, local market, and was able to visit the property after closing, it was not to the degree of how closely I looked into RTR. 

My 14 year old now makes over $100/month passive income from her % owned and my 10 year old is at like $65/month.In this process we are building their interest in real estate, teaching them the value of putting their money to work for them, and all the while growing our investment if we need it for their college money some day! 

I am currently an Asset Manager for Multifamily Deals as my W-2 job and looking to buying my first deal in College Station/Bryan Area.Anyone I can connect with to pick their brain on different investing strategies? 

or how can I market my STR to individuals who are in town for college sporting events?   

If you are just looking at the best investments, I would always go with College towns. 

With Valdosta being a town full of college kids and military families, the busiest time for U-Haul will be around December and May.

I know a few investors in college towns who make a killing from buying homes, renovating, then renting out to multiple students per each room.

A little about myself, I graduated from North Carolina A&t with a degree in Computer Engineering.

My vision is to keep it a while (it’s paid off) and use the cashflow to help with my kids college.  

If you're still in college and working with an FHA loan, a duplex can be a solid option.
