HiMy cousin is looking for a student rental in Boston area.

What cannot change, is that the mortgage industry and profession is challenging and demanding.

I'm one of their students and a member of their Discord group.

Canceling student loan debt, 0 precedent for it, 0 authority, they did it anyways.

Hey Everyone,I just graduated college with no debt so I want to buy my first property and House Hack with college students, I found a property currently selling for $175,000 dollars, but I think It can be negotiated to a lower purchase price since it is a little outdated and the other houses in that same street have sold for less money, although it is outdated it could be rented for $550 dollars a month + utilities  and since it is a 4 bed, 2 baths; renting out the other 3 bedrooms while I live in one of them would help me break even with the house's monthly expenses.

The university areas work well with college students needing places.If you ever want to talk REI let me know looking at some options in Chicago this week and Indiana.

The population has been growing here year over year over the last decade, it is home to The Ohio State University which has over 50,000 students that live here along with those that visit, and it also holds a diverse range of young professionals and traveling nurses to fill the demand of the multiple business corporations and hospitals stationed here.

@Zachary R Beale First off if I were you I would make sure I had little to no debt except for my student loans if applicable and potentially a primary residence mortgage.

When I invest, I want whoever is running the show to be focused on the investment and managing the company, not on a book tour or teaching people about real estate.What other profession do you see this in?

I've found, in multiple conversations with my CPA, that most people will have a hard time "proving" that they're working the required number of hours in real estate to qualify for REP status.The reasoning being that if you have a full time job that takes 40hrs a week, how many hours a week are you actually able to devote to your "real estate" profession.
