Student homeYou actually can profit in two ways from ensuring your student has a safe and comfortable place to live while studying.

Many students don't live on campus, but parents still want their kids located in a good area. Purchasing a home and renting to your student (and others, if size permits) may be the perfect solution. The location and the home itself is your choice, so you can assure yourself it's as safe as possible. And by paying rent, your student will learn about personal and financial responsibility.

It's also a great investment. As well as covering some or all of your costs, the property can be sold once it's outlived its usefulness. Look for a property close to campus for re-sale purposes and to reduce your student's commuting time, and ensure you work with a real estate agent who is familiar with the local neighborhoods and rental properties.
