I've had friends who bought when they were in medical school but certainly not as freshman. That is a gutsy kid. I'm sure his shrewd decisions now will lead to wealth in the future. It's good his parents co-signed but you need that insurance that the loan will be covered in case you can't rent. Kudos to him. Jerry That’s a smart kid.

For the first two years, she lived on campus and rented the house out, and her final two years she lived in the house and rented out the other rooms. It was a great situation for her... my dad and I discussed purchasing a house in the area where I went to school, but we never did. I went to school 3 hours away from home and wasn't sure I was staying after I got my degree, so it just didn't make good sense.

What we've seen is that parents buy a house for their kid to live in and act as landlord. I suspect this is going to happen less as the market is less stable, but it's an interesting idea, especially for families with multiple kids attending the same school or who will do both undergrad and grad school. I only wish 40K got you something in our area! I live in a Big Ten college town, about 2 miles from campus and the hospital.
