I am finishing my first two years of community college in the spring and I will then be transferring to a 4 year university in either Tennessee, North Carolina or Pennsylvania (where I currently reside).

Hey @Hank Sacco,My name’s Chauncey and I too have considered buying in (North) Decatur as it is close to Emory University and has a rental rate of 61%. 

Then I have the option to rent out the "affordable area" SFH to generate additional cash flow and get into multi-family after building that base of properties.I'm particularly looking at the Belton and Temple areas, as they are still relatively affordable, close to healthcare, university, and military jobs, and have access to major roadways.Has anyone started their investing careers in a similar way or involved in the greater Austin area?

I myself am not currently in Texas, however Kaplan University is a great nationwide online school for license education.

I know in other areas agent/broker is a universal term.

My name is Dillan Wilson and I'm a freshman at the University of Massachusetts Amherst studying mechanical engineering.

Thank you for the advice @Max Feinberg, I got connected with one of the well-known landlords around my university and will be doing odd-jobs for him throughout the semester.

Don't drop the ball and lose focus, for now I am guessing the bulk of your income comes from that day-job, and you're presumably an already established expert at that day-job.One of the BiggerPockets Money podcasts guests of @Mindy Jensen runs some swimming pool university website that is his primary source of income.
