I always taught my students that it's better to risk other people's money than put your private residence at risk in case the deal goes sour and you can't pay it back.

Some of the applicants I have are students without much of a credit history. when the parents are willing to cosign, whats the procedure to do this?

Hi everyone, I will be getting my hands on a property in belleville ontario that I plan on using as a student rental on a per room basis.

Since then we have closed on a student housing complex, another development and are under contract on another 30mm in projects....

I'd love to rent it out to 5 college students around $700 - $1000 each!

I was making a lot of money from online endeavors a couple of years before that, but have just barely been scraping by over the past few years, so do not have the capital or income to be able to purchase another income property these days, although that is very slowly changing and I'm able to start slowly saving again.It kind of sucks because I have a lot of equity and capital tied up in that property, but can't leverage it to roll onto a larger property, since I wouldn't be given a mortgage at my recent income rates.I think that, unless you're a slumlord, you can't really cashflow here - at least it's not worth the investment, and that the real gains come from appreciation and equity gain.I also think that student housing could be a great opportunity - if I had the funds, I'd be really interested in purchasing a house with a lot of bedrooms in the university district and then renting it out to VIU students.

(Not all students are irresponsible, but it's important to prepare for increased cosmetic repairs from younger tenants.) 

I did not use leverage (student loans) to earn my bachelor degree in accounting, but I did for my master degree in public administration.

I’m getting my real state license the soonest I’m done with college. ( No student loan debt) I feel like it wouldn’t be to hard to get a job, I’m willing to do whatever type of job to get me started and have a little extra money coming in every month.
