Do as I say not as I do.

Hindsight is 20/20 as the expression goes.

George Mason Law SchoolDid you just find out that you got accepted to George Mason Law School located in Arlington, VA?  Or are you a current student at this fine law school? 

Congratulations!  You are or will be attending one of the top law schools in the country.  Founded in 1972, George Mason Law School has soared in all the rankings to become a top tier place for legal education.  In fact, faculty at Mason Law rank 21st for scholarly impact in the Leiter 2007 Faculty Quality Rankings and George Mason tied for first place among top law schools in a 2005 study on empirical legal scholarship.

I'm a graduate of George Mason Law SchoolI'm proud of my Alma Mater!

Before entering my career in real estate, I spent 3 years practicing law and received my legal training from none other than George Mason Law School.  During most of the time attending classes at the campus near the Virginia Square metro, I lived in Ballston.

I rented an apartment.  With my parents, I considered purchasing a condo.  That was 1997.  Unfortunately, I kept on renting. 

Please don't make the same mistake that I did.

 

 

Here's why you should consider purchasing a condo near George Mason Law School:

  • There are tons of condos within walking distance of George Mason Law School including buildings in the following areas:  Clarendon, Virginia Square, Ballston.

  • Additional condos are available on the Orange Line Metro in Courthouse and Rosslyn offering a convenient commute to school.

  • Chances are when you graduate from George Mason Law School you will be working for a law firm in the D.C. area or some other legal job within the region.

  • Case in point:  Condos that I looked at back in 1997 averaged about $164,000.  Today those same condos are selling for an average of $513,000!  More than tripled in 11 years!

  • During law school, you have a built in pool of potential roommates to rent out a room in your condo and help with the mortgage payment until you graduate and start working as an attorney.

Great point!  FHA offers financing options for this "family" purchase that only require a 3% investment!

Brian - great point!  I helped my brother purchase a townhome right neat the Ballston metro back in 2001.  He rented the rooms out to his friends and when he sold it a few years later, the proceeds helped put him through law school.

Brian, great idea for a post. Using your local knowledge and plain old real estate knowledge. I am actively looking in Baton Rouge near LSU. If my son decides to attend LSU, I want to make money instead of just paying for his education.

FRANK:  Thank you for your kind comment.  Purchasing a home where your son attends school would likely be a wise investment.
