One advantage is the the university provides a steady economic base that usually doesn't waiver too much during recessions.People think about colleges as just students and professors, but of course there is a whole army of people that work in maintenance, administration, etc., just like any large company.

Young RE investor about 25 years young, have about 2 years of experience but I will always be a student.

It was here where I discovered wholesaling from a guy who would make videos with his students holding their checks for thousands in hand.

I am still a student in the Provo/Orem area and we are looking to try to house hack while I am still in school.

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $28,000 Sale price: $195,000 Bought a vacant house and converted it into student co-living space with 5 rental room units near Temple U.

@Jason AllenI would house hack, buy a house with an income suite and live in one unit.Have you seen Ashley from Detroit...identifying that her rent was the biggest expense was pivitol...a must watch if you haven’t already seen itMy first house with a suite reduced my own living expenses down to maybe 300 a month....now you’re saving and looking good for the next step...rent that unit when you’re ready to move on and you have a significantly cash flowing propertyDepending on where you are, you could even do a blend...Airbnb in Summer during peak travel times, furnished student/executive rentals for the rest of the year

Same equal opportunity housing laws apply - cant discriminate based on age, race, disability, religion, family size, etc.. so technically all those ads saying ‘Room for Rent - perfect for college student/ one person/(or other caterings) are ‘illegal’ and can be considered discriminatory..BUT those ads are very common and it’s unlikely anyone would pursue reporting ... nevertheless, you could be opening yourself up for potential legal consequences so I just keep my ads/posts very generic and objective stuff about the room/house, etc.Buttttt, one good thing owner occupied properties, you CAN advertise & select a tenant based on Gender!

My name is Miyatta (MiMi) and I am a 21 year old junior in college looking to build a passive income, a understanding of the real estate world for lifetime use, a network, paying off student loans and saving for dental school.

IE setting up grand kids so they are not saddled with student debt letting kids inherit etc.. so for those that are trying their hardest  to live on cash flow because they believe they would like to trade their current job for a new job..

My wife works full-time, while I have part-time work (not significant income; primarily financial aid), we will have no debt aside from student debt.
