We are originally from MN, but lived in Tampa for the past 3 years while my wife completed PA school.

I’m looking to purchase a multifamily property, single-family home, or condo/townhouse near SMU, where my daughter attends school.

But the bigger issue is the nonresidents (or a 2nd house) have to pay all the school tax!

I absolutely love real estate, and I already own a rental property in Alabama, where my last school was.

This is a graduated schedule, but accelerates quickly.

Great neighborhood, great school district, big house, rehab done very nicely (may be biased) working with a very reputable well known agent and it’s been sitting on market now for 40 days even with a price drop.

Scranton PA is a great spot to invest.Pros:- Low cost of buy-in / not much needed in comparison to other areas due to affordability in purchase price- High-Cap Rates- High Cash Flows- Stable market / continuing to appreciate- Beautiful revitalization of the downtown- Influx of jobs, employment opportunities - Plenty of renters- New Amtrak service coming- Surrounding neighborhoods are sought after, solid schools, "home team" mentality in most of the towns where people want to stayFor the Cons:- I can't think of any OVERALL cons that couldn't be avoided in working with the right team.

Look for areas with strong rental demand, low vacancy rates, and proximity to schools, employment centers, and amenities.Future Growth: Check for signs of future development, such as new businesses, infrastructure improvements, or public transportation.

Congrats on graduating and starting your job!

We converted the STR units to student housing in the school year and only STR them in the summer.
