I'm finally doing this after lurking for so long.
So hello. I'm Matt Uden from Tucson, az. I'm a public school special education counselor in Tucson which I've been doing for 3 years after teaching special education for 5. I started listening to the podcast and reading the forums a while back and something the guys said was to be able to bring something to the table if you want to get started in REI.
So during my last summer vacation I went to real estate school and got my license in Arizona.
My wife and I have a goal, which after listening to a recent podcast doesn't sound so crazy, of owning a few rentals near the university and possible specializing in student rentals. We're just getting started so who knows where we'll end up.
New member intros aren't supposed to be a pitch so I'll leave that. But I look forward to hopefully meeting and working with some bigger pockets members in the future.

Consider checking out HUD homes for small multi's owner occupied gets first crack.
You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing. Rents can be 2-4 times more. Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.
