In San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly students cause a need for more and more housing and have increased the rent year after year.

Hello BP Community,I've been following the social media channels closely and decided to hop on here and say hello 👋🏻I'm Marco, and I'm 29; I was born in Italy, traveled the world with my wife for the last four years, and eventually settled in the Canary Islands for 1.5 years.I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering and have worked in tech for the last five years, which eventually granted me an NIW green card.We (my wife and I) hold a $1.2M+ portfolio of 4 self-managed short-term rental properties (across the Canaries and Italy) and a long-term property in Rome, Italy, that we rent out to students.

Anyone have experience renting to students here?

Greetings, i am a 20 year old college student at Massachusetts College of Art and Design currently living at school in Boston.

Seeing how little of principal is paid off in the beginning of the loan cycle, my urge so far has been to throw what I have as extra payments chipping away at that mountain, but I’ve been also thinking lately if that’s a wise practice.

A few questions that may help everyone in the forum offer more targeted advice:What is the 67k "non-mortgage debt" is it from a credit card or student loans, what is the interest?

I figured a college town would be good for students. 

I also considered student housing.

While you can’t completely control who applies to live in your properties, you most definitely can find areas that are popular with students, young professionals, families, etc. 4) just as important as finding the property, you need to have an exit strategy in mind for the property.

If your wanting something like student housing, the options are almost endless (emphasis on the almost)there are great locales all around the country depending on what you're okay with and what your goals are.
