I went down to Austin back in March and there’s certainly a lot of opportunities there as well.

I only have one rental so far, currently doing a live in flip, and will be acquiring my next primary-turned rental in March-ish.

He’s applied for VA disability and has numerous claims with medical history backing so he’s banking on getting 70+% (he of course thinks 100% but idk enough to know how realistic that is).Alas, once he separates he wants to buy a multifamily home in January-March in the DFW area.

My initial intention was to purchase D using refi money from B and C.

I can't understand your question...but, you can 1031 from investment property A into investment property B and then later convert property B into your primary residence (rules apply). 

Has the neighbors than banded together to start a whisper campaign against you?

Proximity to campus and dependency on the academic schedule are the conundrum of student housing and are very challenging to reconcile...I'm talking from little experience...but a painful one...just missed the year with my first student SFH despite all my effort to get it ready on time...had accepted offer in January...closed beginning of March...then had very hard time finding a contractor (had about 8 bid on the project)...all were very busy and most didn't even bother to follow up with bids...bottom line...be prepared to hold the place empty for months.From your post it seem you plan to invest locally which does give you a great advantage (I'm 3 hrs away from my houses).Couple of thoughts:In markets where the students want to walk to campus it is very hard to strike on both timing and proximity...you need to be prepare to get places as they become available as inventory is very limited...in my market the students practically don't cross certain streets...very defined geographic area and you have to be in it (this is market specific so you need to map your market).As Tim Simmons said the most important thing is to know your market.

Hi,What are the top 5 markets for Class B and C Apartment Complexes?

Also irrelevant if tenant A has his portion of the rent but B and C do not.

I am already booked for Dec-March at $5800/month.Still flexible to switch to shorter-term stays, for times when monthly folks don’t appear.Like Ethan, I Airbnb Arbitrage.
