This is something they can choose not to insure or to charge more for, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it.What I find frustrating is that they'd rather I rent to someone fresh out of high school who isn't going to school than the exact same person who is.

I'm still pretty fresh in the real investing world.
