I just got a townhouse in a college town where it usually rents to 4 kids at once.

I hit the market later in the cycle than I wanted (around the time school was starting) so, it looks to me like those buying right now are single or couples with no kids.

You have done your homework, right?   

like you said... what are you gonna do to an international kid?  

4 college kids wanted the upstairs unit.

It all comes down to you doing your homework on the numbers.

I'm literally like a kid in a candy store, because I'm test driving everything before I actually use them for my sites.Looking back, I only went with Weebly because I wanted to get a site on the internet just to establish some type of credibility, I didn't mind building it myself, and it was FREE. 

You may want to think about the total cost and future cost how your financial priorities (kids) may change before locking in to a high end home in your twenties.

I have a family of 2 adults and 2 kids (7 yrs and 1 yr) that are interested in the property, but I feel like the property (sq.ft) may be a bit small for them.
