Hey BP,Financing question here - I’m looking at buying a duplex in a college town and renting it out to college kids.

A college graduate needs a co-signer to qualify to rent a ROOM (???)

It reminds me of living in a college dorm.I did live in one apartment complex which had a big laundry building for the entire complex to use for free.

I'm thinking about selling a townhome....it's in nice shape and in a good area...all things being equal it should sell quickly and at going market price...however, the next door unit is occupied by college students who have a party about once a month and one of them is a music major who plays the drums 3-4 times a week for about an hour at a time, usually in the late afternoon. 

Hey everyone,I have been interested in real estate and have been learning about it since about my junior year in High School, but decided to go for an engineering degree in college.  

Making MJ legal has helped along with a strong job market for up and coming DINKS or College Graduates.

Do you have colleges , military, or a lot of single young folks?  

I am 20 years old and do not and (probably) will not have a college degree.

., and @Bill S.In my area people will pay more for their own laundry in the unit.We are a college town as well so a lot of those students will rent a house together with the intent of splitting costs, but also to have private laundry. its harder to study in a laundry mat, then your own bedroom will you laundry is going in the other room.My personal opinion is, the more convenient those things are to the tenant, the longer they stay, and the lower your vacancy.

It started of as a college assignment, but I'm taking it to the next level.
