The units are very popular in my college town and I have been able to get significantly increased rent and I actually just accepted and processed an application for new tenants to start on the 4th.  

Dear Bigger Pockets community,The Situation: I have contacted an out of town property owner in Pennsylvania who is willing to give the property away if I take on the back taxes.

After seeing it mentioned in multiple places, I decided I better check it out.I grew up in Whitehouse, Texas (small town in East Texas) watching my mom and step dad slowly grow their SFR rental business while both working full time jobs.

I work with numerous out of town investors so I'd be more than happy to go over the details from that perspective.Cheers!

If you would like to contact me next time you are in town, to learn more about the market, please feel free!  

I have been presented with an opportunity in a town where builders are buying lots or properties and demolishing them and putting up 12-15 unit rental apartments. 

I have plenty of contacts in town I can set you up with, for almost any credit or payment amount.  

More out of curiosity than anything... I'm wondering if anyone has experienced success investing in off-campus housing?
How do you choose a location?
Problems with student/tenants?
How's the ROI?
Some good markets to...
