It attracts a lot (4,000 at last count) of students. 

Hey @Gaetano Ciambriello how do you recommend getting visibility with student housing? 

@Anthony SwainMore and more young people prefer house hacking because it is financially flexible and suitable for those with student loans or other obligations.

Student loan debt of 40k, paying 700/month (20k at 4% paying 200/month and 20k at 0% paying back parents 500/month).

Monthly Rent + Monthly Debt Payments <= GROSS Monthly Income * 45%This accounts for some people who have outsized obligations such as car payments, child support, credit cards, student loans etc.

Sounds like a great sales product for that coach but not a great wealth building product for you.I'd be wary of these "student army coaches". 

Being a college student, you could house hack a single family if you wanted to have roommates, or you could house hack a multi-family. 

If I were you, I’d work to get up the DP and closing costs for a single family house near the university you will attend for med school, then I’d rent out the rooms to other med students.

Student rentals by the UAlbany campus is certainly doable, however may become more competitive with the upcoming closure of Saint Rose.
