I've thought quite a bit about college students, but not sure those homes are at my price points right now.

Unless you have had an education in the auction business and a license you would be better off using a profession real estate auctioneer.I would think you should focus on find and contracting properties that can sell for more to give you an attractive profit.

Thanks in advance for all your valuable feedback.The Backstory:I am managing a Single Family House (which is .5 miles from the center of campus) Rented to college students (all under 1 lease). 

I'm looking to build a student-housing niche portfolio in Reno, Nevada.

Ask realtors to run a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) on a property you are interested in offering on and see how it looks (with a skeptical eye since they have a vested interest), most will do this for free if you're going to put your offer in through them.This is why I suggest getting out there, looking at a lot of homes, put in a lot of offers, and generally pay attention to what sells and for what price ... become a student of the market.

I'm currently a pharmacy student pursuing my MBA, but would like to learn more about investing in real estate to gain the confidence and ability to invest in properties once I graduate.

We currently rent out to VCU students who have proven to be very profitable and ironically enough, low maintenance tenants.

Following the logic/advice of some of the licensed professions regarding this transaction, the house would be "listed" with some bank right now, & being put on their books waiting to be sold at some auction.

His network of active students is good, that is literally the only thing of value (the network is part bird-dogs and wholesalers and part active rehabbers).

This is a duplex that I'm going to end up renting out to college students.
