One is already there and probably too close to graduation to make it worthwhile (don't want long-term property in Lubbock!)

So some chunk of them may stay on the sidelines longer, waiting for that mythical time when rates and home values are both down -- which is actually great news for landlords, because they still need somewhere to live while they tire-kick.As those late 20s early 30s non-FTHB sit on the sidelines for longer, there are still people graduating college, high school, etc, moving out and needing places to rent.

I just graduated from college in Boston 2 months ago and moved down to Florida to begin my career.

I plan on purchasing a flip this year, and completing 4-6 more next year, then graduating to 2 a month with some rentals sprinkled in for good measure.

I grew up in Michigan (Detroit suburbs), graduated from Michigan State University, and lived in Chicago for 10 years before moving out to California.I just got married about a year ago and my wife and I have spent a lot of time since, working on getting our finances in order and making plans for the future.

My wife and I just signed initial contract on our first property on Wed here in IL.My oldest son (23) will be graduating from Iowa State next Spring and has plans to move to Minneapolis area for work (Aerospace Engineering) and his church is planting a new college church there soon, and he also has friends and former college buddies in Minneapolis area and 2 current roommates who have expressed interested in moving with him.My thought was...why should the 3 of them pay rent on a house and maybe he should look into buying a 3BR house or townhome that might need a little work and then his roommates pay their rent to him for paying on the mortgage.  

If this were May and great tenants with good credit were plentiful because they are starting new jobs or graduating from school,I would tell you to drop her like a bad habit.But,the available tenants now are going to also have problems like the loser you're stuck with now.Talk to her about why she is having problems paying on time.She may have too low an income to pay all her debts and has to wait for a middle of the month paycheck to catch up on the bills.

Live from a nondescript bedroom in one of the 64 parishes of the Pelican State, it is I, Ronald, gracing my presence on the BiggerPockets forum.Okay, enough theatrics, here is a little about me: Single, early 30's, no kids, high school graduate, didn't finish college but plan to one of these days, originally from the beautifully historic Crescent City (New Orleans, Louisiana -- who dat!)

Was nice to be making money each month instead of paying it out for rent, and it got me into the realm of real estate investing.Now I'm looking to master wholesaling and turn that into a full-time income before I graduate.  

My target market is young professionals who recently graduated.
