I went to school and got my real estate license a year ago.

Hi All -  Curious what methods folks are using for new SFH or MF investments to make sure rental income flow.Example-Buy in good school districts for qualified tenant pool?

It will be a long-term play because appreciation is low and slow here, but some of the highest risk areas are right outside of very popular areas (huge river renovation/development and out the medical district, think hospitals, research facilities, med school), so it's a good bet! 

A few years later, I bought a house near campus (while in grad school) and rented out spare rooms.

As a child, I'm 19 now, I would wake up on Saturday mornings to watch all the flip shows, but I also am going to school to be a doctor.

Thanks for schooling me on hard money lending.

While we aren’t likely to choose house hacking personally, is that route still a possibility, via bank lending, if we are co-owners with our son and his new wife as he goes to grad school, in essence using our credit and resources but benefiting from them living in one of the units, thus accessing owner occupied rates?

NJ has great public schools in many towns.

I imagine your lease is similar in that regard.2) Someone who is couch surfing at a friend's house is, in my estimation, unlikely to spend the time and money necessary to change their vehicle registration, driver's license, and legal domicile; especially since their intention is likely only to stay there for a short period of time.

In my area for example a nicer area, with better schools, newer built homes can often have similar prices to an older (we're talking like 30 years), less nice area across town with inferior schools.
