What are some special considerations to take into account being in a college town?

I am surprised by the CoreLogic study from 2017. 

Are you sure you're accounting for all of your expenses?

Account ClosedI know which property you are referring to, as I am a MF broker out of phoenix.

The only thing I would take out is having people list their bank account number, I don't think you will have an applicant willing to give that info to you anyway.One other thing to consider, are you charging an application fee?

I can't think of anything safer than a savings account.

This of course does not take into account timeframes for waiting on city permits, plan check, inspections, etc.

@Aaron Hearne , your $10k auto loan will show up on your credit report (and you'll have $10,000 cash in your accounts) when you apply for a $40,000 loan on a $50,000 property.

I've read about self directed IRAs (just learned about them) and I am also totally cool with gutting my accounts.

Also consider an HSA health savings account and if when kids come into the picture an ESA.
