She is a fun and eager student too.

I've even looked at a few student housing options.  

The only thing like that I've heard tell of, is for student rentals.

Student Rentals?

Mostly rent to students from Hastings College here.

Lastly, you can look in the areas surrounding the schools/hospitals attracting students/medical professionals.There are several options depending on what long term strategy you are trying to accoomplish.Good luck!

We both plan on keeping our 9-5 job but hopefully at some point we can make enough through real estate that we would be able to leave...Being extremely conservative, we have about $50k in equity in our home, probably closer to $80k ( we would have more if we didn't take a $40k home equity loan to pay for student loans).

Realtors gossip like middle school students. 

@Dexter De Mesa I assume it's in the student ghetto or Edison?

Since then throughout the remainder of college I began to dabble and read around the BP forums, listened to a few podcasts, watched some youtube videos etc.I'm interested in rental properties, and think I have a good network in Abilene (where I went to school) to be able to have a steady flow of renters to the students and as a bonus, the real estate there is fairly inexpensive so seems like a good place for a beginner.
