The kids who just graduated from CU and want to grow up but haven't really established themselves yet and don't really need a lot of space.Both of my Boulder units rented for a similar amount, the condo is right downtown and the TH was out near the country club so a different kind of vibe.Similar thing in the Castle Rock properties, the townhouse is rented by an lady with a teenage daughter.

The market is full of trophie buyers, TV flip wanna-bes, relatively ignorant newbie investors, and the all-knowing recent guru class graduates.

Two are graduates from Ivy League Universities with degrees in Architecture and Civil Engineering, and one is an Urban Planner fromTufts University(all from places out of state with no Michigan ties).  

unfortunately most companies in the USA will continue to find it more expedient to simply boost & accelerate H-1B applications to meet the demand for highly qualified yet disposable technical people.Meanwhile higher education here is, by virtue of excessive student loans, adding significantly to the country's debt without any appreciable impact on graduating STEM numbers.

I tend to be vary opinionated, especially about real estate because I held an active broker license for about 30 years eventhough I have never used that on a full time basis.So when I graduated from college (in1980) I felt more comfortable in the construction business since I had been there since I was 17.  

Parents in for graduation weekend? 

@Jessica CostaThat's how I did it in when I was in graduate school.

I graduated from college roughly 2 years ago and have been working at an accounting firm ever since.

They get to learn and get paid for it.I don’t know if any education program that after you graduate you get your money back plus 10% interest.When I have mentioned this option to new investors, many times they are not ready to invest or they are disappointed because they think they should be able to get half of the profits because they lent 10 or 20k for the rehab and they want more of the deal.  

student loan debt is not slowing down at all - the average graduate now has $40,000 in debt (up 6% in one year!)
