I stopped writing on elevated topics on BP as of about a year ago.I'd write an article about Rich Dad, and I'd get 300 comments - as if this is the defining knowledge in this universe.

Hey everyone, I'm a senior studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL and I am just starting to research a little bit about growing a rental property portfolio for the long term.

Avoid downtown if you're looking for quieter students.The university is growing and building a new health services campus in Johnson City, so I suddenly have a pretty decent influx of landlords buying in that area.

Depending on your financial situation, you may not have to purchase one property at a time to get to that 20 property target, You may be able to purchase Duplexes, Triplexes, Quads, or if you really have a decent down payment, a small multi-family property like a 6 unit building can be mixed into your portfolio to get you to that 20 unit target quicker, also you may get some deals that are more than $100 per unit in cash flow.I see you're in Tennessee, I was in the Nashville area looking at properties late last year near Vanderbilt University, I didn't find any good deals but I was told I needed to get further outside of the Nashville area to get the deals.

I currently live in Smithtown on long Island but I actually just graduated from the University at Albany this past spring so I am very familiar with the capital region.

Someone else above mentioned the mobile home university forums, which is a great resource. 

The ARV’s for that side of town are all over the place, especially in the University hills/ Windsor park area where the property is located.

Hello, I currently go to school at University of California, Irvine but also live in West Covina, San Gabriel Valley.

It is actually located directly across the street from a university.  

I am a student in the undergraduate real estate program at the University of North Texas working a project to increase the profitability of a medical office building in Dallas, Tx.
