Also looking into earning a business degree from a community college , which I know for a fact would help a lot.

As the title says, I am looking to invest in a townhouse as an investment and as a place for my son to live while he's away at college.

Take some real estate investing coureses at community colleges, local realtor association. 4.

I just graduated college and I saw you invest in student housing which is mainly what I'm looking at doing, so any information on that would also be very appreciated. 

My friend owns the house I'm renting now and he's away at college until Sept of 2017.

Oren,Thanks for the analysis with this reply:Current owner had the properties over insured and getting a revised quote based on current market pricing.College Community but these units are not rented to college students.  7% Mgmt is solid and known entity but do have some of the fees mentioned.Total Maintenance should have been $36400 and not $26400.Renter responsible for utilities but do have an annual pest control and grass cutting.Taxes and rate have been confirmed.

I was hoping to do something like real estate came after I was done with college.

I have graduated from college with emphasis on real estate.  

Is it close to a college?

Love college towns and lakes, it's all there.
