Of course, depending on what deals become available, I would definitely consider doing multifamily, but I'd prefer to start with single family unless something jumps out at me.I've thought about this a lot, and here's a list of the advantages/disadvantages that I've assembled:Pros:     - Higher demand during the school year, meaning likely far more consistent vacancy rates (the main reason I thought about this idea at all - I like consistency)     - If it's a fixer-upper, I'll have the entire summer to work on it as my parents live close to the university, and any remaining work I can do in my free time during the year since I'll be living there (Just a general advantage of house-hacking)     - Allows me to get my feet wet with investing while still pursuing my degreeCons:     - Depending on the area, much higher vacancies than other properties (assuming, of course, the months of June, July, Aug, and Dec will be vacant, so a vacancy rate of 33%)     - Since it's a small town, there isn't a large supply of homes within walking distance of the university (currently 2 on-market being sold) - although last year's foreclosure auction suggests that that may be an abundant avenue to locate deals     - This town is notoriously a party town, so rental properties here may be more prone to getting trashed, although this doesn't seem to be an issue in any of the properties currently being rented that I know of, even in the bigger houses that host parties nearly every weekendI could also consider purchasing properties within ~5 miles of campus, so not walkable, but more than reasonable driving distance, although they will rent for less.

I would say that this is probably experience gained on your part as to getting your feet wet to speak to sellers.

Remember, you also don't have to do the deal alone, you could always find a great deal and partner with someone on the first deal in order to get your feet wet, then once you're more comfortable and have money coming in from the property, go off and do it alone, or continue partnering.  

Hi everyone,  Do you have a good humidifier you can recommend for a wet basement? 

It became clear why I saw no mention of the strong wet wood/mildew smell of the room and building from other reviewers. 

But maybe as you're continuing to learn and get your feet wet, a LTR may be your way to go.

It was blocking the city’s approval for me to rent out my property, so I coughed up the $700 to remove it.The PM & Landscaping company say that there are other trees at risk for falling, which could hit either my fence or house.What can I do to get ahead of it and push the neighbors to clean up their properties?

We are short on inventory, high on demand and the "wave of forclosures" we will see next year from forbearance will barley get our toes wet, do some math.

I got my feet wet in the early parts of 2015 with a buy-and-hold duplex in downtown Iowa City.

Are there any wholesalers in Az who have enough equity, wiggle room for a newbie like me to get my feet wet.
