Hello.
I am very new to real estate and investing in general, but I am planning on moving to Oxford, Mississippi around the end of 2022 or beginning of 2023 and I want to begin my real estate investing journey in Oxford. Any current investors in Oxford that have some good general knowledge of the area that would be willing to talk to me about the area?
Hello Ethan. Welcome to BP. I'm a newbie, as well. However, I am an MS native, so I can give you some general insight about Oxford. Oxford is a great college town (the town is the university). I'm sure you could make a killing renting to students (it may be wise to build a rapport with admins in student housing at Ole Miss) or possibly a fix and flip (I've known a lot of old money and good ole' Rebel football lovin' retirees move there). I don't foresee you having any issues making a good ROI, especially if you do your due diligence on your property and run a strong property analysis. Again, this is my blanket opinion; I don't have any investments there personally but could foresee adding an STR there in the future. As long as the university is there and the sports teams are winning, you're winning! Good Luck!
Hey Ethan! I live in Oxford and have invested in real estate here for years. I would love to connect and share some insight into the area and potential places to look for property. There is still lots to be found here. I just bought two more rentals in the last month after finding some good deals.
