I'm an 18 year old college student.

The tenant base will be international house of prayer students and staff.

Also, your returns can be significantly enhanced if you buy a distressed property at a discount and fix it up then refi.....

You'll have an ample supply of students, but you'll have to deal with the transient nature of college housing.

Boston's rent/sales price demand is largely driven by student housing and large in-city businesses.

If you are going on tho college then I would suggest looking into having your folks cosign and buy a rental to house hack by renting out rooms to other students, if you are not going to college then a job in real estate sales or even construction and remodeling may help you get set up to do a flip property. 

We also have attended conferences and workshops by several "gurus" to enhance our education.Having remodeled many of our own residences over the years, we were familiar with rehabbing. 

I'm considering student housing; buying houses and renting individual rooms to university students.

I plan living in one room, and renting out the other room to students at the University of Florida.

I don't know much about living in Columbus -- which are the "nice" neighborhoods and which are considered "scary" by locals.What are good areas for B-ish class SFR rentals -- where do young professionals rent, and where do students who want to live off-campus rent?
