College students/people with job Mon-Friday in city/ people limited income rent a room.

I've heard from a LEO friend that the bad guys are using Zillow, Red Fin, Trulia, etc to find houses to scope out.The videos urging people to squat and how to do it have got to be illegal, right?

You'll need to get creative, either through house hacking or some sort of value-add or STR/MTR or student rentals if you're near OSU.What Oregon lacks in cash flow we make up for in appreciation.

So let's start a discussion:Any success/nightmare stories with student housing?

Are your current properties student rentals? 

So spend as much time as possible reading books, listening to podcasts and approach this world of REI as you’d like (or wish) your students would take the lessons you teach.

Some go for $700k plus and are designed as high end student rentals and others, in Bryan,  sell for $200k but need a lot of work.

The lease (with the current college students) was just renewed through their 2025 school year.I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen with little-to-no money down, as I have other 'irons in the fire' at the moment.I'm planning to offer $400-450k for the home, and am trying to structure something where a conventional lender would loan an amount that would be covered by the current rental rate (lets just say $300-350k)...   ...then, anything outside of that amount, would be carried by the Seller (for a short while)...   ...Seller financed with a ballon in 5-years?  

I'd urge you to investigate that further. 2.

I own student rentals so the original “co-living” and STRs.
