I typically ignore student loan and/or medical late payments.As long as they aren't delinquent a lot, can afford the place (with verifiable income), have good landlord reference(s) (aren't needy, paid on time, or paid late fees if they were late and didn't destroy the property) and don't have any evictions, then they're good.If the first guy qualifies, let him know, set up a date to get the lease signed and then mail the old guy his fee back since you didn't process it.

As a med student i had no income. 

I'm a 63 year old doctor and a student of BP and RE investing but little practice.

What areas are students most interested in?

The next may be one of the largest debt sectors in our economy - student loans (who would have thought!).  

Besides catering to Tech students, you have Covenant Health Care in the neighborhood, along with countless doctors offices.

The only guy to get wealthy in that deal is the teacher of the course!

I lived in Rohnert Park when I was a student 20 years ago.

I still feel as though I don't know much, and would like some help.I am a high school teacher and baseball coach, so come this summer I am looking to really dig in and launch my Real Estate Investing business.

@John Whitridge  Are the typical tenants of the property going to be students?
