I’m a third-year student at the University of Florida with one year left until graduation, and I just got my real estate license.

@Jason Baker I attended the University of North Texas in Denton, Tx shortly after high school.

If you close to the university, I might give them a call and see if they have a database that they use for places for visiting professors, etc can stay.

The advantage of this is that the investor need not be accredited.  

Reg D 506 b allows "self accreditation".  

I have my eyes on New Haven, CT given its growing population and proximity to universities.

Obviously past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance, but it seems like a great investment for accredited investors to get a low-risk, solid return in exchange for some illiquidity.

Within each of these loan types and structures, you'll find commonalities and similar bases, but only conforming and govvy loans will have the exact same rulesets universally. 

If you're not accredited, then I would say the rare syndication that accepts non-accredited investors, or something like FundRise or Crowdstreet or other crowdfunding platform, would be how you get that "riskier" side of the barbell to weigh more.And thanks for your feedback on FundRise, Crowdstreet, Farmtogether, and Groundfloor.

Waco Texas is a known city that has a very good Private College, Baylor University.
