Adding to this, he was working with a property management company that leases properties for long term, and then rents out to students.

I think it requires certain level communication skills and rationale (which I dont have).My tenants now are self-employed gardener, and the other is a Doctorate student.

Probably the most beneficial of which was my son's student loan.

My target market are college students but also families as the size would allow for multiple children.

I have 2 stacked units in a 2 family student rental ( 8 beds ) on one hand i wish i did not get them because i have been having to reset the machines ( have to have someone look at that) so in that sense i wish i didn't have them because of this maintenance, but if the Students lived in a dorm they would have to pay to do laundry and the local laundry mats are twice what i charge, it's more for convenience for them. the money i do get helps pay for the gas, water and the electric that the machines use as @Dale Stevens mentioned. i do not make money on them, but helps with the cost when the rental market is so competitive for student housing where this is.

It is worth mentioning that besides my current student loan, I have no credit whatsoever (don't know if this would be an issue when I apply for mortgages).

Those people never came back.The period for graduate school students’ rental has been missed given we are at mid-September.

Multifamily properties can be utilized to provide low income housing or student housing among others. 

I recently joined a organization as a student called "snap-flip" after attending a real estate conference in my area.

The kicker is - like many 20-30 year olds, we face the evils of student loans and do not have much saved up for a down payment.
