I'm a little confused--are 2 of your 3 properties MTR's that you rent to international students?

However, I am seeing more interest in MTR's and have a colleague that does well buying condos and renting out to traveling medical workers and foreign exchange students.  

The challenges in real estate teach you invaluable lessons that you might not gain otherwise.I also invest in Chicago, so I have a few thoughts in response to the questions you raised.

-Have you seen a change in demand for student rentals?

I'm joining Bigger Pockets to try to connect with people who can teach me and encourage me.

Hey Bigger Pockets world,I am currently a Junior Finance student at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles.

This will teach me alot.

I just saw that Antonella Parra Gonzalez, a third-grader at Harris Elementary School in Gilbert Public Schools, recently received the Arizona English Learner Students Success Story Award.Here in Austin, many investors are asking me to set up searches in Eanes ISD, Round Rock ISD (that also cover some homes within the Austin city limits), and then of course Leander and Lake Travis ISD.

In a university town nearby, student housing is restricted to certain areas of town and prohibited in other areas of town.
