A friend from college did that starting in 2008.

almost every youtube video ive seen. but I have learned my lesson.

You can still buy plenty of things in nice college towns that make money. 

I'm not looking to go into flipping, maybe help fund a few for the lessons.

Think growing college towns with steady tenant pools or suburbs experiencing revitalization. 

Initially, this might seem like a great idea as you can maximize rental income by renting out bedrooms kind of like college student rentals.

Perhaps if you were right next to the college, or a hospital.

Quote from @Lilia Matlov: A lesson I learned later is that real estate is not just about numbers, which is contrary to the thinking of most investors.

Faced with mounting expenses, extended timelines, and diminishing returns, we ultimately decided to sell the property instead of continuing with the BRRRR strategy.The Insurance Mistake:The biggest lesson I learned was that I had the wrong type of insurance.

Lessons learned?
