Looking to get my feet wet in my first property, looking primarily for Multi-Family or single families near NJ college campuses to rent to students.

Purchase price: $5,350,000 Cash invested: $800,000 This was a college campus.

I have read to attend local real estate events, classes and the blog post here on Bigger Pockets.

I am interested in purchasing a single family home to live in for my junior and senior year at college, and then use it as a rental after moving to a larger city for a job.

Recently graduated college and will be starting work soon, so soon after I will be in position to purchase a property.

Where my wife and I settled, given our loans coming out of college (and in hindsight they were extremely low interest: 2% on federal, about 3.5% on private, with one small one carrying about 6%, I believe) was to take roughly half of our left over take home and pay down loans, and the rest goes into savings/investments.  

Hey y'all, I am currently a nursing student interested in purchasing a single family home to live in for the next 5 semesters of college until graduation.

Say I find a good deal move in next year and live there for a year or 2... what happens then, do i just keep the property and rent it to other college students?

Although I am still in my 20's myself, if I were to think back to when I was in college, I would probably prefer to be involved in real estate but not FULL IN.

There is an eastern Iowa meetup that I'd highly recommend attending.
