It's priced 30 grand under any other property for sale in the neighborhood. it's three bedroom two bath across the street from an elementary school that was just renovated in the States second best school district.

My goal is a single family or small multi-family cash-flowing rental in an area with good schools.

I’m going for electrician, but I’m obviously not cut out for it and don’t want to waste my money or time since I pay for my own schooling and have little time for real estateIf I were to drop out I would have time to find a mentor, read, attend seminars, attend open houses, analyze more properties etc... my goal is to retire by 30 and I would be going to community college for another 3-6 years at the rate I’m going now.

I’m currently living and active in the Clarksville, TN market, but I’m originally from southeast Idaho (and went to school in Boise).

I am a 22 year old that just graduated college during the covid era from Ohio University.

It's much safer to invest in areas outside Interstate 465, minus areas such as Lawrence which is a beast different from any other.If you want to attract good renters buy in good school districts too.  

With kids we have to be mindful of school districts, etc.

I will be graduating from college in December and I accepted a job offer making $20 an hour starting.

Outside of the city you could look a bit further away as long as you remain in the same school district/zip code.

You owe the bank their money every month (the mortgage), you have to have insurance on the property, you'll be dealing with the local government in the form of property taxes whether it's real estate taxes and/or school taxes.
