I think any real estate investment in a college area is a bad idea. No way would I invest long term in Tuscaloosa.

Everything is inflated around colleges due to the student loan bubble we are in. Factor that in with the enormous growth we have bad because of Saban, makes me uncomfortable.

Out of state kids will stop coming once the winning stops. The supply and demand factors are just not organic.

I assume you were a college student once.

Also, biggerpockets.com is a good primer for investing. Ideally you want to find a mentor who has been doing this succesfully for years in your location. They will be your best resource.

I make double my salary in investment property around the LSU area. If you know the area it can work for you.
