I've heard warnings against purchasing near campus due to the large number of student housing developments of late.

I saw how decapitated the real estate was I saw i could make money and also help the community in a big way. the end goal is to develop in Baltimore.

Fast forward to today and I have a development business, a fix and flip business that does 200+ homes per year and a rental portfolio of 80 homes.

. - There is A LOT of development just blocks from the property including a new city park, a new student apartment complex, and a new children's museum.

I'm looking to learn as much as possible so I can develop a successful real estate business. 

Currently I work as a Software Developer, which I love to do and have always enjoyed doing, but during my years in college, I realized that working a full-time job will not get me where I wanted to go.

Every segment of every profession and life has their knuckle heads, but its blatantly unfair to group an entire group because of what have been your poor choices! 

The list price reflects an old house on the biggest piece of land in-town, not a future development parcel.As a commercial appraiser, I do not have development experience.  

Even so, it does look like most of the increase in rentals is likely to be permanent, particularly in light of the fact that no economist or housing expect I know is predicting a return to the pattern of development and growth seen during much of the past few decades.and the biggest takeaway I have from this work, is that in growing, popular areas like Portland, even if the market shifts back toward ownership somewhat, overall demand will increase for both [ownership and rentals].
