Following, STR for Disney and new Universal Epic universe has me interested.

Say I took a gap year and house-hacked a duplex in and around Austin (probably outside Austin) in my hometown for the gap year, and then I left and rented out both sides while in university.

I am looking to join a mentorship program to help lower my learning curve and until I find it, I am educating myself with books, as well as YouTube University and great advice from the BiggerPockets community.I do work full-time in a career that I love and is very rewarding, but I also know I won't attain my goals with my current job.

Purchase price: $7,800,000 124 unit Garden Style apartment community located near Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK.

I was 22 years old and fresh out of Temple University.

Focus on areas with strong rental demand, like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, or near universities like Butler and IUPUI.Maintenance Costs: Indiana weather can be tough on properties, so budget for seasonal maintenance like snow removal and HVAC servicing.Additional AdviceKeep an Emergency Fund: Unexpected repairs or vacancies can arise, so having 3-6 months of expenses saved will help you weather any surprises.Build a Reliable Team: I have lists of contractors, handymen, cleaners and property managers if you'd like me to send.Good luck with your property and future expansion!

This is in a town that has a very good Private College - Baylor University.

While I agree that the STR market has matured and margins are compressing, I don’t think this is a universal truth especially for Americans buying in international markets like Germany.

As for the third target market, Sacramento is close to you, it's a state capitol, relatively inexpensive, two major universities, great local culture...

Plus global warming has really helped with the winters.
