I was thinking around a university or college town.

I know that once I fix it up I can grab higher rents but not that much higher since this a University area.View report*This link comes directly from our calculators, based on information input by the member who posted.

It's an up-and-coming area near University of Pennsylvania.

I want to interpret that meaning it is universal code (IBC, NFPA, etc) and not some additions from your more local jurisdiction.

Another area will be looking into is getting building approved for student housing for university that is close by and also speaking with hospital and see about offering housing for visiting nurses as is a stones throw from hospital too. 

Or house hacking a large house near a university and rent out the rooms. 

I currently attend Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, but I am originally from Brookfield, Illinois.

I also decided to further my education by pursuing a Masters Degree in GIS from Johns Hopkins University using my Post 911 GI Bill.
