We recently purchased a home to rent to my college sophomore and her roommates.  

We are closing on our first rental property with plans to rent to college students.

We just have to change our mindset & strategy to some degree as the lending world and market shifts. 

Hello Biggerpockets, I am currently halfway done with college, and want to start investing into real estate, but am having a hard time deciding what to do with my current situation.

I have a lot of real estate experience, have worked in construction and have tools to work on a property myself.We've lived in Southern and Central California, currently in SW Oregon (went to college, lots of friends here), have family in San Angelo, Texas and near Seattle. 

Population growth, strong job growth, multisector industry/economy (Never invest in an area propped up by a single industry, or worse, a single company), landlord and business friendly, strong development, strong sports teams (even minor and farm teams), lower crime rates than national average, and good schools/colleges nearby.

A college student, friend, or family member, looking to make a little extra a month might be the perfect fit for you.

We had a week of 12 to 29 degrees below zero. 

I like to maintain a degree of diversification and liquidity, and although I like RE, stocks, especially retirement stocks, have some really good benefits as far as tax deferred growth and tax free gains.As far as your 2 beliefs - I think it's more that those who track their net worth likely have better financial habits and responsibility than those who don't.
