It will cost some money, but if you are  a big time investor, 5k towards a graduate scholarship will get someone in the graduate research department to do the job for you.  

Hey @Calvin Huang, congrats on graduating!

Also a graduate level text book is also good for the basics.

If the property is near a university then you may consider a different strategy of renting to students by the room (preferably graduate students) Cash flow is usually higher especially if you are able to provide furnished rooms, free internet and laundry. 

my son will be be attending ISU in the fall and I am looking to maybe invest in a rental property near the University that he could live in and rent out the other rooms and sign it over to him when he graduates to continue making an income off or sale. either way it would be his choice.

After she graduated, a year and a half ago,  Then things started really going down hill..trash, oil in driveway, old cars, etc. then boyfriend moved in so now 4 tenants, more old cars, cheap rent, old camper, chickens & dogs.

Hi all, I'm currently a senior at Ohio State going into commercial brokerage after graduation.

I moved after I graduated HS so it's been a while since I've been able to get my finger on the pulse of the area.

I am just graduating dental school and focusing on acquiring a practice in the coming year but have interest in rent to retirement moving forward. 

As we are a state capitol and have great population growth and the Ohio State University generating 6,000 graduates annually, there is a lot of need for multifamily housing.
