I have some current rentals but they are what I would call low risk low short term return (college student houseing in good longterm hoods)with high appreciation potential.

How can you not see this and come here crying the blues?

Are you going after students, young hipsters, families?

I coach about 4 students every month - it's one on one training so I don't take on too many clients at one time.Let me know if you need anything.

Next, I have my students copy and paste the lowest comparable sales into the comparable analysis sheet.

Thank you guys for the feedback,At this point I have 15k of my own money without safe fund (will be saving for a half year of bills)I found a few homes in Paterson and Newark New Jersey area is not that great but close to Nyc so rents are still pretty highOne was a 3 family for 100k but needs work I would say over 40k.The other is 140k 3 family as well needs very little work from what I can see.I don't plan to live in them since I still live with my parents so I only pay 300 in rent and I make about 40k a year I do have students loans loans of 13k that I could finish paying within 4-5 months Please let me know any more feedback

For instance, many of the HOAs in my area do not allow renting to college students (I am in a college town) and do not allow STRs.

Hypothetically speaking, the IL locations I chose are near the University, I am very familiar with leasing by the bed space/student housing, therefore my primary focus there would be to target college families that come in to town for their students for graduation purposes, sporting events, etc.

I personally like investing near colleges because I like having a revolving student population for tenants. 

I love investing in houses for college students with the growth of USI, UE, and IU
