I am seeing that in general that the majority of college students do not have dogs, while many other applicants do have dogs.

I'm thinking about a buy and hold opportunity for a luxury town home 2 miles south of Texas A&M University in College Station TX. 

There are 1 million + 1 factors why demand for a college degree has increased, but simply put - it's a requirement for nearly every desirable job today.

I'm an 18 year old college freshman who's about to get started in Real estate investing!

A few paralegal classes at your local community college can do a world of good in figuring out the court system and navigating the legal mumbojumbo! 

I have a property down by ASU, and yes, college kids are a different beast.  

You are missing the most important thing you can buy yourself,an education.You need to meet with professional wholesalers who have been doing this successfully for some time and ask them how they do it.Apprentice yourself to them for free doing their ground pounding work learning the business as a young college student intern would.Learn how to put together a large list of cash buyers and flippers who need the properties you find to sell them.Learn how to carve out a good territory to farm that has several homes sold in the last two years for top dollar prices and sold the fastest (less than 30 days).Learn how to use postal workers,utilities people,and others to spot bad houses that might be able to be bought cheap.Use high school students involved in sports teams or band to seed your farm with cards and fliers door to door at every property and give them a tax deductible donation to their groups.Promise them a bigger wad of cash if you sell a house they bird dog for you(tax deduction!).

I'm glad I have rentals to pay for college for my kids so they won't have that much debt!

In fact, the state securities prosecutor that taught my masters level syndication course in school used it as his bible to teach from.It can be pricey on Amazon....check your local college if they have a real estate program because you can probably pick it up in their bookstore for less than half the cost of the Amazon pricing.

I have two rentals, one in Arizona and one in Oregon both are in college towns.
