I am currently a college student with little capitol and I am on the same path as you were, working door dash, delivery driver, anything that I can get my hands on.

I'm interested in knowing what the 1) Townhome (TH) rental market AND 2) room rentals are like in Hyattsville, MD (20781) and College Park (20782), specifically: For TH and Individual rooms rentals:- The demographics of those who rent (e.g. students, starter families, commuters, etc.) and behaviors/preference.- Going rate for TH and individual rooms- Demand and saturation levels (how long does it take to rent), length of stay, etc.- Other market trends about the areas TH and individual room rentability - Frequency of renting versus selling in the areaI look forward to the insights you all share!

You can hire a high school or college student looking for summer work to do it. 

I had a mother of a college student call complaining because we told her the house was cable ready (meaning there were cable lines already installed-and trust me, we explained to the daughter what utilities were included in the price and what wasn't) and she was very distraught when she connected the line to her tv and got static.

You could visit the idea of student housing in university area of Charlotte with a SFH and rent by the room. 

And many more ways that we teach our students.

Their coaching is not cheap, but I think the thing that separates them from the one-time seminar gurus is that they offer a series of classes designed to deepen their student's knowledge so that they end up with a well-rounded education, versus what you can get (and retain) out of a single 3-day fact-filled seminar.

This was many years ago, but I was pulling in $3900 tax free for Berkeley BAH, and paying $1100/mo in rent, oh and unlike all of my classmates I wasn't going into student loan debt. 

- How risky are student tenants?

And what is the mix of guests (couples, entire families with kids, grandparents, parent visiting college students, hikers/water sports, college football fans) maybe theme it to what people think of when they go there or provide things that would enhance their stay (paddle boards, video games, theater room, kayaks, really cool beds that have slides etc).
