We converted the STR units to student housing in the school year and only STR them in the summer.  

I've rented to a few medical students and professors who are at a college for a semester or less. - The tenant type will help you determine the best areas.

I am 19 year old college student very interested in every aspect of real estate investing.

Its really important for people entering into any home improvement contract to understand the state laws for so many reasons, business and professions codes/laws, warranties whether expressed or implied etcThe point being is well executed legal contracts are best for all parties involved.

@Tiffani Hollis yes, we are open to students.

I would like to eventually leave my 9-5, pay off student loans and get rid of PMI on my first property ASAP.The townhome is my primary residence and I will answer any questions and be grateful for any guidance.

I'm new to the real estate profession and looking to observe, learn, and get to work.

I have managed 180 unit buildings and currently oversee a student hosing building for 201 students.

At that price, I suspect they don't get very many students at once.

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has seen record enrollment in recent years: it set its highest attendance in history, with over 57,000 students enrolled and in 2024 just had highest freshman attendance in history and keeps growing, Carle Hospital, Craft Factory (Warren Buffett approves), etc for diversity of economic drivers.
