Its not the only way, and not exclusive, but certainly helps when you get audited.

This forum is primarily RE and most people here will predominately specialize in RE somewhat to the exclusion of other assets.

Look to the unemployment rate and underemployment rate for young adults graduating in the last five years.

Is it discrimination of any sort if I say no more than 2 adults and 2 children?

Anyway, that another forum topic...Regardless of where you stand on the issue, there's little doubt that our current government is harvesting a large healthy crop of young adults with a solid "entitlement" mentality.

There are things such as "office listings" or "exclusive listings" AKA "pocket listings".

BTW - we used to offer new-construction homes exclusively, but when the housing market "crashed", builders stopped building and new-construction dried up overnight.

I also have a friend who does this exclusively - he just buys whatever he can find near an SEC campus and rents to college kids.

Is there any way I can "follow" these 30-40 local members, in addition to being a colleague, so I can look specifically and exclusively at their activity?

The tax-free exclusion for primary residences falls under Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code.
