My rentals are college kid rentals across the street from the university.

I went to college, got my degree, and thought I will just make enough money eventually to invest in property.

So I use those same metrics in my calculations anyway.I don't know what I would do in your market, but in mine it would be simple: 50% of the year STR operations, and 50% college rental with parents co-signing on the lease.

My question is there any way that a college student can start investing?

I'm a graduating Senior in college set to start as a Financial Analyst in January of 2018.

I was raised poor and have no intention of going to college because highschool was enough of a struggle that I didnt even finish.

Our downtown area has had a huge revamp, we're one of the hottest destinations for college-educated millennials (which is great for the economy and future population growth), and our unemployment rate has been dropping steadily, https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LAUMT0113820000000...One of our team members worked up a pretty comprehensive report with some great stats on this market, so anyone can feel free to reach out via DM and I'll shoot it over, or you can download it for free over at Keith Weinhold's awesome site, Get Rich Education: http://www.getricheducation.com/project/117-birmin...

Currently, I invest in SFs and location is very important for any prospective properties - 1) because it may attract a certain tenant (ie. great school district, or close to a college campus) and may also help me avoid certain tenants that might be troublesome and 2) future resale/appreciation.I am interested in pursuing MFs, and I find some really great cash flowing properties in my city (and out of state), but they are located on the edge of what might be considered less desirable part(s) of town.  

I would guess it is May-June as college kids are graduating college and need a place to live.  

As a young fella fairly new out of college, the washer and dryer would be a very nice commodity.
