Also most universities have some kind of housing office that can point students to common rentals as well as on campus recomendations.

My intuition served me well just two years later when the Pandemic hit, we fled LA to enjoy our 2020 summer and haven't really looked back since.

I think a strategy that would serve me well is one where I buy a 2 (or 3) bedroom house with 1.5+ bathrooms.

I've started my journey in the expensive Seattle market and found house hacking a duplex gave me a tremendous boost as my first property.The top 10 advantages that played out quite well:1.

Having said that, the bigger jobs would usually include vinyl siding an entire house or duplex as well as replacing all of the windows.One thing to note, in the 100's of lead inspections and rehabs we've done in Cleveland, we've never seen or heard of anyone digging up a front yard.
