I do plan on going to college at the University of Utah as I have excelled at school and am going to pay for college with scholarships and parental aid.

It sounds like the parents just don't want to be the heavy when it comes to their son.What does your state say about unauthorized occupants and their rights, if any? 

Also, find out how much traditional on campus boarding costs... its a good indicator on what parents/students are willing to pay.Student rentals are great investments but not for the faint of heart!

However, my rent will disappear as I will be moving back to live with my parents while I try to look for my own property.

With holding under 2 years, you have to find something with meat on the bones.  

However, I still live at home with my parents.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to avoid the 15% withholding tax?

I first joined the community in Feb of 2017 and posted about my 6 figure student loan debt and woe of freedom from my parents. 

My partners parents have some rentals that we charged 0% commissions helping them buy and 0% property managements (forever).

Currently I live with my parents and work full time so, as long as they allow, I can continue to save most of my income, even if its not fantastic it's still more than many un-financially educated people save.Roughly I have 3,800 invested in an index fund, these funds are my savings.
