You could look into finding properties with large bedrooms and try renting out the rooms to college students if you find that you cannot afford a multi in the area also.

We both have fairly extensive student loan debts with a total of around $220,000.

I'm a sophomore college student majoring in Real Estate & Finance at Indiana Univesity.

But just not sure who to pick... that last couple look working class and have two older kids and she has bad credit because she said she has student loans ( which does not explain why the credit is bad to me ) and the hubby has no credit at all... 

The broker was also a realty school instructor and the contractor is his realty student.

Lubbock is one of only two markets in Texas that had rental prices drop--McDougal is crushing the competition right now--he and American Campus Communities are building those huge resort student multifamily buildings and destroying the student rental market. 

Our total debt with student loans and credit cards is around $315,000.

@William Kyle Walker Have you tried reaching out to any accounting students at your local university?

I’ve also used excess student loan money from time to time to help with rehabs.

I fixed it up, lived in/rented it for a year and sold for $110k.With the proceeds, paid off an apprenticeship student loan, a quad loan, AND bought an Up/Down duplex for $235k, AGAIN, 5% down with Genworth Mtg.
