I rent mainly to college students and not all of them have easy access to scan and e mail their applications.  

I was working my way through college on a full scholarship when I felt a crippling need for a change, a need to actually put my talents, dedication, and effort to work.

Just east of Fresno State they are just finishing a brand new shopping center/Movie theatre that is supposed to cater to the college crowd. 

I am very serious about REI and decided to go back to college after 2 semesters off.

College is not my thing, party hard lifestyle isnt either, I get bored very easily with many different things and I want to feel completely free to do what I want to do,when I want to.

I like the idea of international properties, though maybe that's adding too much complexity starting out.

There will be no internal conflict to distract you from reaching your goals.  

I truly believe that real estate investing can be a vehicle towards the true financial freedom I seek, which is why I am doing everything I can to learn about the industry.Since I currently graduated from college and just started out at my new job, I am living at home so I have not bought or owned any properties before.

Good college town with strong industry, too (General Mills).

My name is Jake Charles, I live in a college town in rural Maine with a population of about 8,000.
