The town is small, but the property is a few blocks away from a university.  

Hello, I am a 19 year old student at Texas A&M university who is very eager to learn about real estate investing, I am looking for a place or an investor to work for so I can try and gain all the knowledge I can while I'm home for the summer in the Dallas area(or in college station in a few months) I am willing to work for free, whatever it takes to learn the business, let me know if you are from this area and have any opportunities or know somebody that does-Thanks, Bronson

I currently patrol an area near Drexel University in Philadelphia and run into properties that can be profitable, but I don't have the resources yet and that is why I asked where you recommend I start.

I just graduated from Boston University with a degree in Computer Science and Economics.I'm new to real estate investing, although my dad is an architect and grew up around construction.

My fiancé is currently in law school at Seattle University.

The two options I'm considering at this point are 1) start saving for a down payment for an apartment/condo which I will live in for two years (during grad school) and rent thereafter (to students near university) - and 2) don't buy now, rent during graduate school instead, and just put most savings away in traditional retirement saving vehicles.The time horizon for saving a down payment is 12-months.If more information is needed please let me know.

Good rail, highways, harbors, navigable rivers, air service, multiple world class universities, hospitals, shopping, farming, artisan manufacturing, theater, indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities can be found throughout one of the smallest states in the nation.

And they are building a new university less than a mile away which will only increase rentals.

That being said I'm 19 and a second year college student studying medicine at Colgate University so thats where I am when I am away from my home in Hamburg, NY.

The coming elections will also have a major impact which is yet to be seen.For now at least, maybe best to stay on course, but ease up a little so you can be nimble if the situation calls for it.One of the "universal constants" is change, ironically.David J Dachtera
