My personal favorites for SFH are around the military bases, Randolph in the Schertz/Converse/Universal City area, and Lackland in the far southwest side of town.

It's a great pocket for both flippers and landlords, since it has a relatively low initial purchase/all in price, and it is appreciating as well. 19143 overall is seeing a good amount of gentrification stemming form university city.

However, this model usually works better in urban areas where there are people traveling for non-leisure reasons (hospitals, work, universities, etc.).- You do not have to be in a downtown area to be successful.

The estimated monthly cost is a little north of 2k (including MIP), and I could get a roommate to cover half of that. 1k a month is the same cost of university dorms, which means I would have to shell that out either way. 

On the flip side, it would also allow me to cop a really nice turn-key triplex or quadplex on the University of Pennsylvania campus in West Philly for that amount.

A year and a half ago I bought my house off campus of my university at 21 years old while still attending school.

Purchase price: $56,000 Cash invested: $2,000 House Hack on University Off-Campus.

I was lucky enough that my university taught an intro to real estate investing course that I took my junior year which peaked my interest.

I’m talking about areas near larger hospitals, downtown areas (Old Town Scottsdale is obviously #1), higher end golf courses, casinos, universities (mainly ASU in Tempe), and other niche locations that attract travelers.

Hello, I’m 19 and studying real estate finance at the University of North Texas and I would like to get started with real estate wholesaling to begin my real estate investing career.
