I am a writer, a photographer, and now about to become a real estate investor.I have spent most of my adult life in retail management with a few years in programming, website design, and freelancing.

@Patrick Liska the furniture is part of the property and therefore covered under damages in the lease and because they are student rentals, parents are co-signing on our rentals so ultimately a responsible adult is held accountable. 

I can remember as a young adult all I wanted to accomplish in life was to have a job I loved that made me six figures a year.

Stony Brook will have plenty of people for apartments but there are plenty of towns in Nassau where students, young adults and even entire families are looking to rent in. 

For the past 9 years I have owned a rental property in Philly in a neighborhood that college, graduate students, and young adults love.

If the pet rent is incorporated into the rent, they won't care nor will they know, but it will feel like they're being treated as responsible adults rather than as children.  

I could have had it made if there had been some adult who knew what the Path to Success is.

I felt like I had finally found a path I'd been looking for my entire adult life!

Bay View I guess I'd call B+ to A, lots of young adults with careers and family, and currently a very desirable place to live.
