One was a guy that wanted to rent a place "immediately" (always a red flag) because he discovered "black mold" in a house he was buying and is planning to sue the previous owner.

Took the job a couple years ago - fresh out of college.

RC, I would start investing while your in college.

I pretty much just stumbled upon it after being frustrated about what to do post-graduation from college.

Once you have been around for a while, you will see people ask the same basic questions over and over.We are happy to answer, but make sure you are specific and have read the previous answers first.Hope that helps a little.

My partner and I were looking at a house where the homeowner had gotten really weird with renovations -- walling off rooms to make two small useless rooms, taking down a wall to make one large useless room, and adding a second story addition that could only be accessed by a tiny spiral stair case.When we said this would be tough to rent out, she said: "Oh don't worry, you can always throw in a bunch of college students."

I thought that college kids at the university in my town would possibly pay a premium to live in a "smart" building or a green-rehabbed building.

I have yet to invest in anything yet, I am only a senior in college and need to do things before grad school next year.

I posed this same question to a professor while in college and was labelled a "sexist" for it.

I've also got a lovely old 30's-era craftsman bungalow in a college rental neighborhood, and those little college b*st*rds can trash a place with the best of them.
