😂Plenty of lovely folks there, plus it's where Cannon Air Force Base is located, but we soon discovered that just having a base nearby didn't necessarily make for a lively real estate market.Shortly after that, we adopted our MUCHAS criteria:M - Near a military baseU - Has at least one college or universityC - Has a Costco or equivalentH - Has a hospital ranked at least as a Level II Trauma CenterA - Has a commercial airportS - Has a Sprouts (organic grocery) or equivalentThis has led us to look at often-overlooked markets like Lubbock, Texas and Augusta, Georgia.May be worth a look for you as well!

i guess you could call them, like a newborn, kid college fees something of that nature.I made the mistake of not looking into that before i bought my duplex, because don't forget that with homeownership/landlord comes recurring expenses on that property,and you're life surprise expenses somehow never stop coming lol, so i'd make sure to put money aside for that and not sacrifice it for the sake of profit.

Hi Victoria - First, the timing could be part of the issue—rentals often slow down before the holidays, especially in college towns like Fayetteville.

Your disposition may be to move forward with that as i believe i read in your introduction - but not needed to understand and develop some degree of comfortability.  

My goal is to find a cash-flow-positive rental property that I can manage while finishing my degree, setting the foundation for a real estate portfolio I plan to grow steadily over time.

Chad and his business partner currently focus on long-term rental properties and private lending in and around the college town of Clemson, South Carolina with a portfolio of 90+ units.

Yet, you should never say never and any investment carries a certain degree of risk.

Next year i'll hit top pay and should start bringing in 1.2-1.3k a week. and the year after that i plan to move to linehaul and make about 2k a week.I do have a lot of debt, or at least it feels like it to me. the breakdown being;23k in college debt i got getting a bachelors that i never used across 5 loans ranging from 3 to 5% interest rate5k in bank loan debt i got getting my trucker cdl a at 12% interest rate.2.5k in credit card debt from not having an emergency fund and then having emergencies.
