My student rental property was registered as a fraternity without my knowledge or permission, which I would have never given. 

Specifically, I am interested in room by room student rentals around universities.

I am negotiating a seller financing deal for a student house at $380000.

If you're applying for a Conventional/FHA/VA/ or USDA loan, then they will do a "global cash flow" where they take into account your PITI (Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance (hazard and flood) on all properties (second mortgages included), HOA payments, car payments, student loan payments, credit card payments, and installment loan payments in the numerator and your gross income in the denominator.

For us, the hands on training and meeting other student's at their investment properties and directly learning about their buy, rehab, sell and/or hold experiences is valuable.

This isn't a sign of weakness in the market but instead a return to normal. 4 bedrooms do rent better than 3 bedrooms particularly with the college students, even more so if that 3rd bathroom is a jack-and-jill setup. 

As a result, I have become a student of marketing to find properties since early in my investing career. 

I am a student at Boston University studying Mathematical Finance.

You may not get any cash flow but you will get an education that Harvard, Stanford, or any Ivy League school can provide.
