I am transferring right now and about to start at an online university, so hopefully, that will give me the flexibility to work a full-time job.

It is near a university center and so is focused toward students with lots of study books and what not in the lobby.

Looking to start my portfolio while also managing properties that will cater to local university students.The university currently does not assist with off campus housing.

State capitals, major universities, major health care complexes, logistical hubs like inland ports (though these are subject to economic ups and downs, they are so expensive and time-consuming to build that they are not abandoned and they are hard to compete with in the short-term.)Hope this helps.

I also get that my current mindset is probably overly negative, so I don't want to be sending that out into the universe and driving people away as my first impression)I am also realistic about what I offer (in the form of investor) is really just money and in 2020 everyone is just flush with money and infinite lines of credit at 3.5%, so it's not like it would have been in 2008 or so.

For example, if a major university was opening up a new building in a formerly rough area, there might be a need for student housing nearby. 

He is mainly interested in multi family properties close to a university.

First off, consider attending MH University Boot Camp. 

Here is my plan:Jan 2020 - March 2020Buy my first property, located in NC, while I’m stationed in Okinawa, Japan… Read the rest, and please tell me why I should, or should not wait on buying the first propertyThis is what I will be leaving the military with (May 2020):If I don’t buy a property, around $100k ($25k of which is in a Roth IRA) The GI Bill - allows me to go to most public universities for free for 36 months, and provides a monthly housing allowance.July 2020-May 2021I plan on attending trade school for carpentry in the fall/spring semesters.

Two slight caveats to this 1) Small MFH 2-4 Units 2) The downtown area (29205, 29201, 29206 and some areas of 29204) near the University of South Carolina, State House, etc.
