We typically have our student houses and apartments re-rented by April - well before they even become vacant.

We were going to try to rent to a professor, or to an assistant, or to grad students.

Day 2, I attended the Marketing/Wholesaling, Student Housing & MultiFamily homes, the Top 10 MultiFamily Syndication Mistakes, the panel on MultiFamilies, Turning Class A Properties into Profitable Cash, and the Digital Marketing presentation for Visibility & Sales.  

It's frustrating, because of the delays we missed out on leasing to students (its very close to a college), and now the garage apartment renovations probably wont be finished until around Thanksgiving.

I am currently a college student at FIU.

At first I was thinking that I would wait until I payed off my student loans to start investing, but now I'm thinking I may try and purchase some cash flowing properties to help cover my student loan payments so I can use my income to save for more.

Mortgage is 219k@ 4% interest, we pay 120$ in PMI within the 2300.Our student and car loans are around 100k@ an average of 5% interest, with a monthly payment of 1400. 

For me, I had failed to make payments on a few credit cards and student loans.

I would not take out student loans or try to keep them at a bare minimum by getting a job and work your way through college.    

Show up to your local lender's office with transcripts and something showing your job description/responsibilities/duties in-hand.In my area, we call this the "Tech Wizard Special" because the CompSci guys go from being starving college students to $250k/yr working for Google overnight, but often without a long-established credit history and only a few months on the job.
