It's usually used for college areas, where you're renting to college students while they attend school. 

But we undoubtedly will make mistakes and will then share them with the BP community to contribute the conversation.Long term goal is build up to a portfolio of 50 units which will produce sufficient cash flow to pay for our kids college and retire once the kids go off to college.  

The thought is that student housing is less cyclical and more steady as there's always kids going to college.  

Hi All,      As a recent college grad, I've been looking for other ways to earn an income and to build a better future for when I have a family.

The college continues to grow and the need for housing is great.

Me and my colleges can't be the only ones :)I am the managing member of KP Home Buyers and I would like to take a swim in the investing community.

I am an invest from Central, PA as well (Just outside of State College). 

A 2 bedroom would work well as Lafayette is a small college town.

My son will be going to college in 15 years (haha, if he wants I suppose), and getting that extra cash flow at that time would be nice. 

I'm friends with a family that moved here about 6mo ago from Calgary.While I wish I could help more on the school issue (I'm just out of college myself, no kids, and not originally from Houston) - I can still say I wouldn't depend solely on online rating systems because who knows what they're really grading the school on, how they get their ratings, or if the areas they assess heavily are where most of your concern lies.
