I found this forum because I listened to one of the bigger pockets podcasts and the guest in that episode bought a house in Boston near a University and rented it out to several students to maximize rent.

I still review the credit because I am concerned with non-medical and non-student loan related collections, as well as, liens or judgments... anything that suggests a willingness to take things all the way to court.Also small collections might show a lack of concern to handle even small bills property, which S8 tenants often pay a very small portion of their rent.

I have a friend who does well near the Mayo Clinic in MN, I see some really attractive student housing near universities.

, term of the lease,... what if a student leaves school, how Is that handled?

No need to worry about stealing ideas.The main thing consultants/coaches need is social capital (i.e. well know expertise) to drive students/clients to them.

Three months ago I became a student once again in pursuit of my real estate sales agent license.As my job as a real estate appraiser I am fluent in valuing properties, navigating the MLS, and finding info through county records. 

In regards to cash on hand, I plan to have 15-20k saved upon graduation (although fairly significant student loan debt).

I'd imagine getting medical staff/students is fairly easy as you get in close proximity to the campus, but I also know that some of these neighborhoods bring mixed opinions.

Many of the rule changes originated from deadbeats who failed to pay student loans as they did not go on your credit report years ago. 

It is somewhat close to JHU but a little too far to attract a lot of students IMO, but that doesn't mean you'd have trouble renting there.
