Student Housing

Have you ever received a call from someone asking you to help find a rental for their son/daughter who will be attending college in your area?  If so, you might also suggest the possibility or purchasing a condo or home for the student to use - the cost may not be more than campus housing, and equity should increase over the four year period. Depending on the maturity of the student, it might also be an opportunity for them to be a landlord, and rent a room to another student, bring in income to help offset the mortgage and other costs for the house or condo. Perhaps you want to put an ad in the student newspaper in the issues before and at the start of a school year or semester.
