I'm a 20 year old college student who is saving for real estate investing.

Finding the right properties,meaning the kind that will produce monthly cash flow and long-term profits, is one of the most important skills you must develop to enjoy any success in this business.With 40+ years and 200+ home rentals of experience, I have taught my students the following: Ideally I am looking for groups of run down houses (or combo of houses, duplex, garage conversion, maybe a mobile or 2).

Hello Members,I am a new investor looking to get into student housing and just had a few questions that I can hopefully get answered to help clear some confusion I have, I am currently looking to invest near the University of Maryland Baltimore County and Towson area in Maryland.

If it is more of a commuter school then that really wouldn't draw interest to fix that 3rd Ward area up for those students. 

Young professionals, young families, students, etc? 

Does anyone have a sample lease specifically for renting a bedroom in a single-family home out to college students?

You need to prove material participation. 

My goal in participating here on BP is to share some perspective so prospective investors can avoid getting burned. 

Some of the college students double up.

I went to the city hall to pick their brains about what might work best on this parcel (they took me seriously even though I indicated I was new to this), and they suggested that any low-income housing would be rejected- and the best way to get proposed plans to go through would be by building a product that appeals to young professionals & graduate students (location is super convenient to local university.)
