College Campus Investments

Buying investment homes in a college area is a good idea. A great idea if they are for your children and they stay in school. Well, this parent has two properties on two college campuses and I need to sell both. But, it appears that I missed the market. Both are sitting with no activity. I didn't think logically. Students need housing from September to June. The housing market is seasonal. Maybe in late November or early December when the 2nd semester there will be a small interest. I hope so, July is way too far away to wait for the students to return for the fall semester. So, when marketing a property near a college campus, expect a short selling window. Something I neglected to think about, but now understand.

Good luck on finding a Buyer for your property. Education is a great investment but mom and dad can also make a smart investment with their child's housing.

Mark,

My wife and I did just that for our Daughter for 2 years of college...great idea...not much of a money maker in the end though...I guess we are still the soft touches.
