Best Place Real Estate

My sister who lives up in the San Francisco Bay Area called me yesterday.  Her oldest son is a junior in high school and they are coming down to Southern California this week to look at colleges.  We have so many great universities here that it would be difficult to see them all in a week.

But, what a great investment opportunity for us.  Universities are always short on housing.  Even if they have on campus housing, the students usually like to move off campus after a year or so.  With housing prices down and mortgage rates low, an investor has the perfect opportunity.

 We did this when our daughter moved off campus a UC San Diego.  And, what a great investment this has been for us.  She graduated several years ago and we still rent to students.  Many people worry about the kids destroying the place.  Don’t worry.  They are not bad at all and we have never had a payment problem.  This investment has been one of our best, if not the best!
