@Lorenzo Lopez good on you for getting into RE investing in college!

I’ve written a letter to the Police Chief Amd the mayor quoting the detective who said, “Well, we gave it the college try” after I told him that the tenant blocked me from contacting him. 

They generally have out of college/construction unseasoned folks doing the paper permit reviews from what I've seen based on the comments that come back. 

Quote from @Ellie Ha: Setting up my first rental for college students.

I'd target areas near colleges or transit hubs for affordable properties, and I’d look into financing options like FHA loans or creative financing to make the most of my capital.

You're off to a great start by educating yourself and planning to attend meetups—that’s where the magic happens!

Affordable Entry Prices: Both Oklahoma City (OKC) and Tulsa offer properties well below your $200K-$300K range, making it easier to meet your cash flow goals.Landlord-Friendly Laws: Oklahoma is one of the most landlord-friendly states, which simplifies managing your investment and dealing with tenants.Strong Rental Demand: Both OKC and Tulsa have stable rental demand, especially in areas near colleges, hospitals, and growing suburbs.Job & Population Growth: OKC, in particular, has been experiencing job growth in energy, aerospace, and tech industries, contributing to a growing rental market.

Attend seminars, join online forums, and read up on the latest market trends to stay informed.Remember, real estate investing is not without its challenges.

Everything around the lot is older but the neighborhood is less than 5 minutes away from downtown, hospital and colleges. see this all the time in and around downtown columbus OH, we have frindge areas that are getting rehabbed and flipped like crazy and then the new builds come in. 

Attend meet-ups.
