My plan to getting started is to buying a single family house 4-6 bedrooms for around 200-300k  and renting out each bedroom for around 600 a month the area I'm looking to invest in has 2 major university's and 1 major collage so id be looking to rent to students , I do not have enough money to put down a conventional 20% down payment for an investment property so id have to put down 5-10 percent down with Mortgage insurance and put it as my primary residence but realistically I wouldn't be living there. 

Currently living at home to save money while paying for student loans, car note, car insurance and other bills.

The ones I am aware of (& I'm sure you'll find more if you Google)...Dave LindahlJoe Fairless Jake and GinoMichael BlankLance Edwards Rod KhleifSue NelsonBrad SumrockI just came from Brad Sumrock's event and there were a lot of successful students there telling their story about how they are currently doing deals, etc.His 1-on-1 program is a little pricey but appears to be well worth it because he has a whole network that a newbie can plug into.If you have the money... it's kind of a no-brainer.Shop around anyway though and I wouldn't try to skimp and go the free route.Buying an apartment building is not like buying a condo.

No matter the profession, I think it's important to never stop learning.

Since I was a student with no one to co-sign for me, I didn't think there were any other options at the time and put real estate investing on the backburner.

Student loan crisis, war, oil crisis, political turmoil, natural disasters, are just a few things that can push us the wrong direction.As far as low unemployment, I was in the work force back in the late 1990's.

I found myself to be in a bit of a predicament with a property I'd like to purchase and was wondering if you guys could offer some advice.I found a house (student housing in upstate NY) and the home seems to be in good shape so I made an offer which they accepted.

Rutgers Camden is another area that is being continuously built on and it seems that a lot more students that attend class on the campus are looking for affordable housing for rent.

I'm very anxious to start working on finding my first deal, but I have a few questions about my debt I'm hoping someone can answer for me.My wife and I both have student loan debt, in total about 60k.

I would like to do it in the Chicago area (more-so the Southside where I’m from) or else the surrounding suburbs.I am in the process of currently refinancing my student loans to lower the interest rate.
