I'm a college student going into my sophomore year and I just reached the age requirement to take courses where I live!

College students?

My name is Ryan and I am a current Student at Western Michigan University. 

Home to The Ohio State University with nearly 60,000 students, 5 Fortune 500 companies, over +25% population change since 2000, and the 2016 smart city challenge award winner (https://www.columbus.gov/smartcity/).

I always teach my students to have an "Escape Plan for Your Money". 

I am currently a student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and interested in the buy and hold model to create passive income.

Like Emily said, a number of shocking facts (or not so shocking to many landlords) have come out in the press recently on how few Americans can come up with a thousand or even four hundred dollar in an emergency....A FINRA study on The Financial Fragility of Renters was just one (with lots of stats).So no downpayment is a big one, as is credit score, and even with those who have resources, they  may want the flexibility to move or freedom from extra work or costs of maintaining and repairing the home.Even items like student loan debt or fear about the economy hold others back (still some out there who feel the sting of the housing bust).

Forgot what it's called but it's important in the student-housing niche.

I have chosen my niche which will be students flats.At the time I am studying construction civil engineering and I want to buy my first house next year (3 years left of school) in the big well known city among tourists and students in one of the european country.

She bought a property in an area where there are lots of student renters. spent almost 10k for minor cosmetics and repairs.
