I'm also having an issue with financing because I'm currently an unemployed student.

Take a good look at student housing see below.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

I am currently a college student who lives with my parents and has loans to cover tuition. 

Priorities for most people should be: FoodShelterClothingI look for things out of the ordinary (and usually find them): Big expense items (new phone, new tv)Cable service worksInternet service worksCollege student still has enough money to buy beerThere are assistance programs for just about everything:This link describes 4 different types of medical assistance https://www.medicare.gov/Pubs/pdf/11445.pdfI'm sure they exist, but I have never heard of a registered nurse not having medical insurance or not knowing how to get medical assistance.

@Aaron Mikottis Interesting...with the influx of new students each year at NIU, I would find Dekalb to be a strong rental market as well.  

As far for Athens, I knew that it is a college town so its an obvious good idea to rent out to students but I did not think about Football season.

I have seen this in many cities usually though in Urban core not out in the burbs were I am thinking these homes are.I had an OREO property on a street next to a collage and the collage bought up 4 entire blocks .. they then demo'd and built student housing.

I am currently a third-year law student at the University of Missouri.

No one made you take out that much in student loans, you two chose to do so and vouched for the repayment. 

I am an 18 year old college student from New York.
