I could afford a place like Atlanta or Ohio.

I think that there are neighboring areas that are more affordable.

With that being said i want to get a real estate licence  my question is where to get an affordable and quality education, I have a full time job so time is a sensitive matter im leaning towards an online program can any one recommend an institute? 

HAI is Housing affordability index right?

My initial plan was to buy a pretty cheap terraced or maybe a semi detached if affordable near a university, with 4-5 bed-rooms and have one room for my self and rent the others out to university students.

If the house is old then you really do need to bring the staircase up to current health/safety standards.

@Kawika Burgess, oh, to be that well off that I could afford to negatively cash-flow tens of thousands of dollars until appreciation meant that at a break even point had arrived - IF I sold right then! 

I was thinking buying and then owner financing to the current tenant for the right rent of the sales price i sell it to them for, if they can afford.

By this time with 20 years of experience on and off experience in home improvement, construction and repair experience I was in such demand from commercial businesses, landlords and homeowners that I was working near and some times more than 80 hours a week and my health failed as a result of bacterial pneumonia.

People making $50K a year are getting squeezed out, and can't afford to buy a starter home that cost $150,000 in an average area.
