Thanks, Tiffany Palaskas  In my experience, one of my biggest regrets were selling a great cash flowing property in a college community.

For example college rentals generate some of the highest ROI of properties I come across in New Jersey but it depends on the school and location of property.

I have college rentals and plenty of clients with college rentals around Seton Hall in South Orange and Maplewood. 

I'd target areas near colleges or transit hubs for affordable properties, and I’d look into financing options like FHA loans or creative financing to make the most of my capital.

I am a current Senior at Catholic University of America playing Baseball and finishing up ny accounting degree. I will start work with EY as an auditor in the fall and have recently begun studying for the CPA exam.

I intend to rent out the units by room to college students (does it sound like this would work in this area and what are some general tips/things I should look out for?).

The only thing that bests fear is courage and we only need a mustard seed of that to get things going...People often spend money on college and never go in to the field they spent that money on...the greatest lessons and the ones most remembered are learned 'on the job'.Wishing you more good news in the future and an exceptional 2025. 

I enjoy college football, video games, and lifting weights. 

@Lorenzo Lopez good on you for getting into RE investing in college!

I took two business law courses in college.
