Very close to NCSU, so you've got your pick of students or adults; nice to have options.

I recall at 23-24, getting off the train after my 1 hour and 40 minute commute had ended and watching middle aged adults sprinting to their cars to get home and beat the 2 minutes of traffic in the parking lot after commuting nearly 2 hours.

I've learned a lot in my life, but I didn't start until I was an adult. 

@Selina M Stone  Not knowing your finances, I'll just give you two general suggestions I've given my own adult kids when they were starting out

As a teen and young adult I would spend hours on end watching HGTV and DIY Network.

I am working on another deal and it's a legal 3 family which the husband and wife used on apt, and their adult daughter came back from college recently, so she's using that unit.

I currently use both in the hope of giving my kids a good debt free start to their adult lives.

Screen every adult before adding them to the lease.If they want to make modifications to the home (grab bars, wheelchair ramp, wider doors, etc.) they are supposed to request it, pay for it, and then return the home to its original condition when they leave.Other than that, treat them like anyone else.

In real estate, active businesses are flipping, spec home development, and "services" provided via real estate such as hotels, short term rentals, self-storage, and adult care facilities.In either case, the IRA, not you, is the taxpayer, and will file a trust return using form 990-T.So, if your CPA has all the facts, he could be right. 

Teach my kids about money and investing and give them viable work opportunities as young adults (when they get there in 20 years lol.
