I intend to rent out the units by room to college students (does it sound like this would work in this area and what are some general tips/things I should look out for?).

Green card/Student/etc etc permits/visa. 

I'm currently mentoring new students and I think it will be months before they get a check.

I have about $4000k left on my car loan and I have some student loans which both of these do have some impact on qualifying for loans.

I will be furnishing one side for now and leasing to a mid term rental until i get a property management company that will work the property or get it leased out to students What was the outcome?

While I’m not an expert on the legal aspects of posting here, I do have years of experience coaching students in real estate sales and investing.For anyone getting started in real estate, I always emphasize the importance of focusing on key steps before committing to a deal.

However, I am seeing more interest in MTR's and have a colleague that does well buying condos and renting out to traveling medical workers and foreign exchange students.  

The property is located near two colleges, so I’m focusing on student tenants and planning for 12-month lease terms.Do you have any tips or advice for renting by the room?

For the case of Florence, there are college students there who are having a hard time finding housing due to all the units becoming Airbnbs.
