Hello BP Community,

As a college student myself, I would love to hear about peoples' experiences with renting to college students. I have run a couple searches online and notices that while the market is pretty saturated, especially within city limits, there weren't as many people trying to rest specifically to students as I would have thought.

Is renting to college students a pain? I suppose they would only rent for a year at most and can be a hassle with payments and damage.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks again guys,

Hello Community,

Has anybody had any experience with the online REI courses provided by MIT?

I am a junior finance major and was considering trying to get through a course or two during the summer on my own and wanted to know if anyone has tried getting through them before.

Thanks for the help,

Good Afternoon Everybody!

I wanted to ask if anyone on here knows anything about Boardwalk Properties in Boston, MA. I am a Junior in college right now and want to get a head start in the real estate business. Because I have no money I figured that my best bet would be to work as a real estate agent for the summer and make some cash on some rentals or sales.

Thank you to anyone who can help,

Hey Everybody,

I am a college junior getting my studying for my degree in finance and hoping to pursue a career in real estate/development. I know it all starts somewhere and I would love to hear how you guys went about your first flips! Me and a friend of mine are considering flipping a house over the summer to gain some experience and see how it goes.

Thanks for any input,

Howell

Hello All,

I am currently an undergraduate at Stonehill College perusing a finance degree and I wanted to ask some people with experience where to start in this business. I have aspirations to be very successful. Last summer I worked between 100 and 110 hours a week with 4 different jobs so when I hear that people "have to" work 60 hours a week when you first start off in order to be successful, I know I have what it takes. I have taken a number of economics and finance classes and excelled in all of them. I understand how markets work and the basic accounting principles of real estate too.

I am asking for any advice that anyone may have on this matter. Where do I begin?

Should I work on getting my real estate license in Massachusetts?

Should I try to participate in a summer internship?

Should I try to jump into the real estate business now? Is that possible while finishing up my degree?

Thank you to anyone that can lend advice,
