I want to participate in the forums and be helpful.  

I suggestion to my students to start with wholesaling houses because it involves the least amount of risk.

If you haven't dealt with college students before, know that most potential problems can be avoided by good tenant screening and clear rule setting.

@Carrie Cavins I believe you may be referring to BP Podcast 140:  The Riches Are in the Niches (Like Student Housing) with Bill Syrios.

Every auction is run a little differently, but there are many that allow for 30 days to close.As an example, court house steps auctions near me require certified check of 10% deposit of your planned bid to participate.

I used this as a downpayment on a 70k property with seller financing.Note: If you have overseas students as tenants, they almost always say yes.Kevin

Their response was a small tax reduction on the provincial portion of all commercial property instead of a significant reduction in residential rental property {despite owners of commercial property supporting the latter}.The population of the Maritime provinces is about the same as that of Montréal, so naturally commodity and food prices are greater (the possible exception being seafood ;-)) as per unit transportation costs are higher.In Fredericton we are split between student rentals and those for everyone else (mostly young professionals).  

Be a Private Lender and make mailbox money and you don't have to deal with tenants and toilets.ORBuy and sell houses and Sell on Lease Options with a large down payment.I teach my students to buy and sell in 30 days and make $10,000.00 - $20,000.00 a house.Sell at a discount.

If you have any specific question just write it out there and include important key words (i.e. if you are interested in student rentals by Cornell University make sure you include the keyword Ithaca i.e.).Speaking of rentals, are you looking into buying student rentals by Cornell?

Hello all,I found this great property on sale near a college (great area to rent out to students).
