You can also get the students parent's to co-sign the lease, which means your economic vacancy should be about 0%.The bad parts are two fold, 1) college students can be some of the most annoying, self-entitled brats on the face of the planet (I used to be one, so I can really attest to this).

All those CFD's are now fairly toxic to buy.I checked public records... 

Terry you sound like the coolest person on the planet.

Hi ChrisI am not that busy, every person on the planet should read "The 4 Hour Workweek"A couple in different friends in different fields are doing this so i thought.

@Julia Johnson If it were a toxic waste would that "be a good start."

Your CT foreclosure is a foreign planet to me.I've never been able to buy an REO directly from the lender either, unless it was a private seller carry back or hml.

It must be Food Grade or it's poisonous.It works better than chemical flea killers and is non toxic to people and pets.

I'm proud to announce that the good news keeps on coming . . .A short while ago, the first Syndicated BiggerPockets Real Estate Investing article went live on Business Insider.Just last week we initiated a deal with AOL to put out a regular BiggerPockets column on AOL Real Estate, and today, one of our articles even made the AOL homepage.Of course, today we celebrate our new relationship with Business Insider, one of the top online destinations for business news and information, and one of the few hundred busiest websites on the planet.

Of course right about the time we listed the area we were in was listed as a toxic area that had elements in the ground water causing cancer (just the sort of news you want when you list your home for sale!!)

As wealth and influence of the civilized world spreads, more and more of this planet will fall into a more peaceful existence.
