Does anybody have advice on renting to college students ?

Investing in real estate is exciting and needs learning, meeting people, and a strong interest in areas like owning multifamily, fixing up and selling, renting out, and contract flipping.

Also have an understanding of housing demand versus supply for houses and apartment rents (I wish I considered those factors when buying my first home).Also, make sure you understand debt financing and you spending time modeling out your costs. 

Rent Redi would be the one for me.

You can rent by the room.
