The county where the land is located uses the Geographic Information System GoMaps 4.0 and allows public access to parcel data in ESRI shapefile format.  

Wade,first you have to make sure the town allows Student rentals, most College towns do, but you can rent it by the room as long as its 4 rooms or less usually, or a multi family house. ( 2 family you can have 8 rooms ). most Property Managers will try to rent to a group before renting rooms individually, easier for them.

Multi, SFR, flip, wholesale, etc...?

Or just don't buy any multi families over 15 units in California?

@Mariya Ilitsky there is a huge boom of multi-family housing occurring in the Des Moines metro.  

Example:If you use ANY on-line dispute systems, you effectively relinquish the right to request verification of a disputed item and to request to be notified if any items removed from your credit report are re-inserted.

I am leaning towards multi families for the most part.

Hello my name is Jeanette and my partner and I are looking to purchase a multi family unit either in Arizona or Florida.

We are a hot market and growing very quickly here, we have some turn key stuff as well as multi fam, foreclosures, and motivated sellers, an overall good mix of homes for sale. 

I see multi family listing over there alot
