I'm considering investing in a rental property near the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Champaign. 

In my small city (70,000 or so) we have a university with about 20,000 students with a nursing school, hospital, and obviously several mid size employers that I’m sure have people travel into this area for business purposes.  

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Just be prepared for winter if you are moving from a warm climate.

Cedar Rapids has the advantage of being a short commute away from Iowa City, which is where the University of Iowa is located.

If you are near a university, check out SabbaticalHomes or see if the universities have listings targeted toward their visiting scholars.

I am a senior baseball player at the University of Memphis.

I was a former kicker for the University of Arkansas and now a wholesaler at Diamond Acquisitions.

Properties do not need to be in walking distance of the university to still be in high demand for college students. 

Peter covers it but I was urning for that warm fuzzy before  I talk to people about their money.
