. - Look at kids college fund accounts and the like that already have her name on it.

I am a college student looking to get started with house hacking.

I encourage you to engage someone who knows about land development matters before you assume it can be easily (or financially feasible) to subdivide property and get all your permits and entitlements.

The permit will run about $2500.Then another $2500-$4k to have it installed.I'll email you a contractor.

Waco, San Antonio, Killeen, and College station are all worth looking at as well.  

I have a business degree from college that emphasized in real estate.  

I will ask him to take an insurance and a city permit.

@David Huynh talk to the residence life or housing department at SCSU (if that's the college you're talking about, of course).Ask them if they would be interested in using your apartment as student housing, or if you could list your apartment with them as available housing.  

After dropping out of college I worked two jobs; one selling insurance and the other in home improvement retail.

I got a college degree in business and I also got a broker license in 1980.
