As craziest as this might seem I sold a cheap property to one of his students I just found out the other day for $23,000.

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.

This means meeting the 750-hour rule, the 50% rule, and the material participation rule of 500 hours.

You can also rent to college students. 

They buck the passive rules for 469, and are considered active.BUT - As with any other business, to deduct the losses the owner must materially participate.Material participation is achieved by:1.

My least favorite thing about the student rentals are not the students.

Meaning it’s easy to make their students feel like success stories but anyone who buys section 8 rentals knows the honeymoon phase doesn’t last long.

My wife and I both have decent paying jobs, but after paying rent, vehicles, student loans, etc, there’s not much left over for saving, let alone 20% down.

As I said, math and numbers aren't my strength, but I'm a dedicated student when I put my mind to something, and I know how to read and use a calculator :)Thanks for reading!
