Over the last few months, I have had a few inquiries from parents of college-bound children about investment properties. The combination of low home prices, low interest rates, and a large inventory of foreclosure and short-sale homes have made buying much more attractive for parents of college-bound children.
Looking at the cost of a dorm room, some parents have realized they can now buy an investment property and make mortgage payments for about the same amount of money they would spend for their child’s dorm room, if not less. Call your mortgage banker and check out the numbers…
And who knows, there is the possibility having a chance of selling the home in the future for a profit.
