The Bayfront project and University make West Chula Vista interesting.

Hi Everybody,I'm currently a Freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder and I am looking at closing on a house next week.

Hi everyone,My name is Steven Pham and I'm a graduate student at the University of Toronto.

Buying near a trauma center or university is a solid plan for later, but getting experience with a simpler rental first can save you some headaches!

I have a MTR near Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, and I found it was a bit tougher than I expected to secure tenants.

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.

I will add about ReaIT that you have to be an accredited investor to purchase those deals.
