I also had non-paying tenants that owed me, HVAC unit needing replacement, large trees hanging over property structure that suddenly died due to beatle infestation and college tuition due all at the same time.  

I've even seen lenders utilize college as two years of work history instead of taxes filed so you never know until you apply and put the cards on the table.

By increasing the property's value through renovations, you can potentially increase rental income and improve cash flow.Long-Term Rental Demand: Consider markets with strong long-term rental demand, such as college towns, military towns, or areas with growing industries.

I took two business law courses in college.

However, this can be contrasted to a considerably lower rate in those segments with college degrees and further educational attainment, which is supported by lower median income of $34,748 in 28301 and $54,444 in 28304 compared to $66,778 in 28305 and $61,053 in 28306.

I’m in the red hot market of CT and just went under contract today for a duplex near a college.

Paul Smiths' College (now it's called something else) is a private four year college. 

One was the home address that I initially entered, two were duplicates of an employer's address from about 20 years ago, one was an old Mailbox Etc address that I had about 20 years ago, one was an out-of-state address from about 35 years ago, and there was a duplicate of that address with an incorrect zip code and street name suffix, and the last one was an apartment that I lived in when I was in college a long time ago.

I am almost 55 and still have kids waiting to go to college so saving will be a little more difficult.

In hind sight it would have made a great rooming house for college students or otherwise!
