Buying houses next to a university...

Additionally, I am a James Madison University graduate so I am fairly familiar with the area you are operating in.  

The b offering lets you raise an unlimited amount of capital from both accredited and unaccredited investors.

I recently graduated university, so I do not have much employment history.

Narrowed it down to two areas: one with great schools, a very desirable to live Ellicott City, MD, expensive also; and second - immediate area right outside of the state university campus.

All kinds of things they could do that frustrate you, such as signing you up for magazine subscriptions using bill me later as the payment option, disney cruise dvds, university of Phoenix mailing lists, or sending disgusting things themselves.

My name is Diana, my husband and I both love in NYC but I studied at university at buffalo. 10 years post graduation I decided to go back there and see if I could start a rental property business since the ROI was pretty decent. 4 years later we own 5 properties between the two of us.

Be sure you know that in and out.As to your plan to invest near colleges/universities.. there are plenty in the greater Chicago area that aren't in "Crook" county.

I understand the exempt status for accredited investors...but I guess I'm wondering how does a certain company(first name starts with "Equity" last name begins with "Build") that I have seen advertise in a similar manner does so, and not be in violation.

In the business district (downtown), we find our clientele to be young professionals and studio, 1 & 2 bedroom units all rent equally well, but larger (3-bedroom) can be slow to rent.Around the universities, cost/room is the main driving factor for students, so 3 & 4 bedroom units always rent early and 1-bedroom units seem to rent last.
