Hello All,I am not currently in the real estate market (have 1 semester of college remaining) but am trying to do as much research as I can now so that I can hit the ground running once I graduate.I read "Wealth Preservation Strategy: The Anatomy of a 1031 Exchange" by Joe Cronin and have a question:1.

My son just rented an apartment in Iowa City for next semester at Iowa.  

I am planning on taking classes this fall semester are there any classes  that others have found helpful and relevant for this line of work?

Hello everyone, I'm Andrew, and I have a few thoughts and questions for you all.First off, I am currently a college student studying Political Science with about 2 semesters remaining until I obtain my Bachelor's Degree.

In most law schools, this is an entire two- or three-semester hour course. 

(Loans, parents, scholarships, self, etc)  My gut says take first semester to learn your market and develop a local plan to execute come second semester. 

I have an overlap on one of my college rental homes, which apparently is pretty common in this market as the major universities there are on semesters and trimesters.

I have a feeling prices are inflated at the moment (summer) and was wondering if there is a general strategy in the Houston market to avoid some of the inflations we experience in home prices throughout the year (for ex: parents wanting homes in school districts near the start of the school semesters).

Starting in May (for the fall semester) the students start calling every rental home listing within a 5 mile radius of the University of Miami.

I am currently in school(by choice, so I can leave once the semester ends if that's necessary) but I'd like to start the process to get into real estate if I can.
