The comps are hard for this property due to the uniqueness of the situation.

@John Dunham you are in a unique situation to have discovered the great world of Real Estate Investing in college!

This is just what might work for me in my unique situation. 

This community is so unique in that there are no units above /below or in the front or back of someone and it's just one shared wall (duplex).  

I am a very good saver and dont consume much, so either way I can save money.Feel free to ask me anymore questions about my unique situation and I will reply asap. 

In the last five years alone the market has been booming, and while the price of entry is higher than many areas, I think that if you're willing to sit on the property for a few months, a year, or a few years you would see great returns.A lot of big tech companies have been coming to Austin, it's culture of supporting small business has been great for startups, I read recently that they were had been polling for a professional sports team, and last, the prices of properties very near to some of Austin's biggest attractions (Downtown, the Domain, the Greenbelt, the lake, Circuit of the Americas) are still affordable.

This will offer a unique opportunity to be a landlord/property manager in a separate building then my tenants.

Which are all great tips but does anyone have a unique tip for beginners that we don't hear everyday?

Most plans won't allow for this, but you may be able to access at least some funds if the plan is uniquely flexible in this regard.

Its so hard to price things that are very unique.
