I went with this one because the building he is managing for me is near a university and I wanted to rent to students.

Cleveland Heights and University Heights can be very high, but I have never seen it like that.

I’ll also look into the mh university course and continue to educate myself:)

I can get to center city, university city, old city, northern liberties, art museum & graduate hospital areas; as well as some parts of west & south philadelphia & city line avenue.

I was one semester shy of finishing my 4 year degree at Gonzaga University, and I had cash from bonds my great great grandmother had left me when she passed.

Thanks @Brian McmenaminDo you try to look for a property near any certain institutions (like university or hospital/medical school for example) that would make it more “high demand”?

If you are with a mile of a university or hospital for example it makes more sense to build more 1 bed and studio units whereas an established suburban neighborhood would dictate 1/2 bedrooms.As for laundry, it’s 2019, Is do everything you can to design in in-unit hookups.  

i bought a property which was great in many ways and terrible in many other ways.its near the river, near the zoo, four schools, 2 shopping plazas, 20 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from the train station, 40 minutes from a major university, 5 minutes from a major hospital, 5 minutes from the nearest commercial hub, 40 minutes from another major city and has great tourism industry, commercial hub and everything is a tick EXCEPT the fact that when I purchased the house, it was a sad little brick house in a sad little part of town, with sad qualities and below average appeal.

I'm a 22 year old student at the University of Ottawa in Canada and I'm planning on starting out my real estate career in the near future with an investment in a 4-plex (and house hack it). 

I also go to George Mason University full time and serve in the Air National Guard so needless to say I am so grateful for the BP podcast!
