When I graduated rom college (in1980) I got a real estate broker license and kept it active for about 30 years.Marketing is real important in real estate depending on what you choose.  

I am a college student trying to put some cash I have saved up into a rental property.  

Plus, it's a large college town.

I do not want the income to flow through to my personal return because I want less income to be reported for better college financial aid for my kids.  

I bought a car for $2,000 dollars F+C in college and over 3 years I put over $8,000 in upkeep in to it but that doesn't make it worth $10K.As for the lease option structure, it looks like you understand it pretty well.

I have an 8-to-5, but will need to supplement my income when I retire a decade or more down the road -- not to mention the need to put my daughter through college in a few years!  

Im from and still live in Cincinnati Ohio, 1 1/2 years out of college, have 1 investment property and recently recieved my license I love all things real estate.

Let say I’m young and dumb and think it would be cool to target college students for my owner occupied duplex.

I am currently in my last year of college and would like to start investing as soon as I can.
