We have an investment in College Station, TX and since my wife and I attended school there we are very comfortable with areas where renters and students want to be.

(I guess people still can take a sauna during 90 degree weather but well haha)Also should I cover the top with gazebo structure?

U still need the human element in the woods be hard to have robots out there walking up and down 10 to 30 degree pitch's where feller bunchers cant work and the trees still need human fellers to cut them down..

Sometimes career paths are paved with degrees and dedication.

The issues I ran into was the local market was already flooded with STR's and in order to be profitable you had to stand out with a home that was either near an attraction (ie great view, Garden of the Gods, Downtown, or a College) or the unit had to have amenities (Hot tub, Instagram Wall, Pickle Ball Court) that would place your listing far and above other similar listings.I think you should strongly consider if you more interested in moving away and starting a life somewhere else, or in creating a cash flowing investment to supplement your income? 

The university areas work well with college students needing places.If you ever want to talk REI let me know looking at some options in Chicago this week and Indiana.

Hello in 2021 my partner and I bought an apartment in FL.The main purpose of the apartment was to invest our money to have it saved for our son to go to college.We have been renting this apartment to a family member who has been paying less than what we pay for mortgage and HOA,so we have been taking money out of pocket to cover expenses and so on.I decided that even thou the purpose of buying it was for college,I’ve had enough taking money out of my pocket to pay the HOA and expenses.My question is if I should sell this apartment or if it would be worthy in the long run to keep it and meanwhile just keep paying the HOA and expenses.Renting it to another person is not an option.

It would be located near a wedding venue, hunting retreat, and about 25 minutes outside of a major university town (e.g. could rent for college football gamedays). 

We are flexible on the location to a certain degree, but would not want to go south of the perimeter. 

I'm in Canada and where I am, reasonably priced homes are still selling pretty quickly.It's pretty certain in high degree accuracy 30YFRM would be between 5 to 6% until 2028, that one was given and no longer a surprise.
