What is your alternative during non-school seasons when units are vacant? 

Great location in fantastic school district, rapidly growing area, showing great potential for future rental.

I am still in school but want to learn as much on the brokerage side as possible.

For example in and around DC some jurisdictions charge insane fees for new builds ($40k school impact fee) and have very challenging code requirements (sprinkler systems in homes..)Anything crazy like that?

The area has a lot of attractions and good schools. 

Decent schools and great public transportation.

Ill be planning starting a family , so looking for decent school systemsTIA

Good school districts and good appreciation.

The school that I have always use belongs to a guy named Jim Montrym, who's been doing it forever as is evidenced by his url: https://brokerschool.com/ .

Go back to school when you are rich ok too.
