Hi Everybody,I'm currently a Freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder and I am looking at closing on a house next week. I am planning on living in the house next year and renting out the other rooms (3 bed 2 bat...

This is even true for student debt.I recommend the old-school, proven technique of paying off all debt.

I am an international student still in the education phase.

As I am out of state, I need to find a property manager willing to manage it for me, and my agent's contacts don't manage college student housing.

Thank you for your insights, I was a bit vague, honestly, I've been looking at houses since I graduated college about a year and a half ago but life was in the way, had student debt to focus on, moved to a new state with no family or friends and had to build some form of social/work foundation in my eyes when I moved from NYC to VA to make sure everything that I decide I go into the life I am balanced such that I can focus on what I want with all of my energy.I am not moving on from looking at properties, over the time I've been looking at houses I have saved, I have researched, I have made connections with real estate agents in my area, I even studied for the real estate agent test but ended up not taking it for other reasons.

I have no clue what the heck your going on about with "syndicator boot camps", Nobody I know does anything even remotely close to such, nor would they, there not going to hand away there "secret sauce" and vs what they make as an active syndicator, they'd have to charge minimum $40k per student to make it remotely worth there time. 

It may some disgruntled students who joined, but realized real estate was not for them, and sued to get their money back.

Before signing up, i asked if I could talk to a FS student to so they referred me to a woman who had good things to say.

The second of two homes I bought when I sold the rental, I would have bought a more expensive one as the one I got was close to the university and tended to attract students which had higher turn over (though it may also be my local market).I'd also look up how to do a 1031 (I think that is what it's called, I'm not in the US) where you defer capital gains taxes on rentals by buying another within a set period of time.
