Hello, as my post suggests I am a student who just moved into the University of Alberta.

So I always urge people to start with the end in mind and take a more passive approach.Focus on being an Investor not a Landlord.Do the math here… with 300 dollars per property (2 months of work to buy a turnkey rental) you are going to need 20-40 of these to replace your income.

For instance, you don't want a manager who specializes in student rentals managing your C class rental property.

Yes, I am looking to pay down student loans and start to save to buy investment properties. 

Hey Josh,My advice would be to stay away from student housing-focused properties, and stick to something that can accomplish your daughter's housing goals for her time in college station and that you can get out of through a sale or continue to rent to other demographic than just students once she is gone.

So do banks do FHA loans on student housing properties?

I’m looking to develop and/or rehab a property to convert into student housing.

Housing is so limited in DC, you can AirBnB, rent to students, nurses, or use a property management company to help you find a tenant.

I'm off campus so my tenants are nurses/grad students/etc.
