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

Whether you’re a high school student or a seasoned investor, understanding the fundamentals is key.

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.

In addition to medical professionals, we also have college/grad students.

I'm a property manager and I absolutely refuse to work with cosigners (except for full-time college students).

@Sandra Ho, It sounds like you are talking about late payments on their credit report for things like credit cards, car payments, student loans, etc.

A lot of medical students/medical professionals are looking for a cheap place to stay in the area.

A college student getting an engineering degree should consider different approaches, even if he decides to deploy some/all of the inheritance in real estate, than a high school dropout working a minimum wage job. 

And a lot of start-up companies are migrating to this city as well because of the OSU campus that has thousands of talented students graduating and looking for positions locally.Everything that’s going on here in Columbus is attracting investors and other businesses from all over.

Mike, I can't tell you how much I agree with you.I also work at a college, and when I do exit paperwork for graduating students, I see that thier emails are still [email protected] and they wonder why there are no jobs out there!
