Anyone have any tips or other places i can look up information?

It also depends on where you see yourself living long term.If you're going to school in columbia now but plan on moving to atlanta or charlotte after you finish, then I'd say go ahead and buy there now.You're a college kid.

I think with your strategy you would greatly benefit from getting your license so you can search the MLS yourself and write your own offers, so you can work on your time and maybe win more properties.Also, just a tip, when mentioning or replying to someone, if you use "@" their name, it will alert them that they've been mentioned in a post.Keep up the good work.

I really appreciate Jennifer Lapinsky's story - she has plenty of "reasons to wait" (until after the new baby, until the kids are older, etc.) but no, there she is, out there taking small steps that can lead to big things.

Would I send my kids to those schools?

@JamesVermillion Thank you I'll be watching to steal some tips from you!

Another issue is zoning as a special use permit may be required, having special needs or more than 3 unrelated tenants is sometimes an issue.You may also be subject to inspections and ADA requirements, hard surface floors wider doors, etc. it's no walk in the park.After you get the permits and modify the place, you will get higher than market rents (due to mods) but you're also pretty well locked in to renting to that NP/agency, can't really take them to the cleaners as they can move on leaving you with a harder to rent dwelling too.Insurance will be more and you better keep the place up in tip top shape.

Make sure your credit is in tip top shape.

Hi, my name is Mark, and I'm currently a student at UF, in Gainesville, FLFor a couple months now, I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a house in Gainesville, since it's a great time to buy, and I'll be in Gainesville for at least a few more years.
