Downtown near the college, rents are even higher, a $1200 a month rent is certainly market rent.There is a lot of inventory that has been updated which is able to fetch higher rents ($1100-$1400 per month) and older inventory that needs updating, but is still able to charge $750-$850 per month.

Maybe the properties could be acquired one at a time as they to pay for the college bills.What about hard money lender, still kinda new to that. 

Or what is the best way to secure a loan with out ridiculous interest rates.Ideally I would like to get a duplex/small house at college where I could live with friends (and rent the other half out if I could get a duplex).

If you''re talking about hiring college kids to hand out flyers by knocking on doors and networking in person, idk if I'd trust that with my companies name on it without providing serious training on what I want accomplished and how to present themselves etc.

I graduated college only a few years ago and we are going to use that money to become debt free and a nest egg for a rainy day... there isn't a ton in there to begin with to say the least. 

Have you read any creditable books by real real estate educators, like agent's text books or college real estate course materials to know the industry?

I really want to try getting into a duplex since I live in a college town.

I am wondering if anyone has as advice when it comes to renting out to college students.

Dealing with tenants, office work, bank, post office, walking properties, negotiating....I was a CD student until college.
