The point is that when you have three different tenants renting individual bedrooms and accomodations it tends to add up to more income for the investor, but it not because student housing is being sold at some artificially high price just because you are a student. Off campus housing may rent for less than on campus dorm space costs. It depends on the area. As it happens, all multifamily housing generates more per square foot than does single family housing rented to a single tenant. Just the way it works. No one is encouraging people to rip off students. The parents of many students also benefit by purchasing an off campus property and generating rental income while providing a place for their kid to live while attending school. Demand from students is the real driver of rental rates. If students feel that rent is too high in one place they are free to seek other accommodations.

Lots of students have to live off campus whether tbey want to or not and are at the mercy of greedy money sucking pigs like you. I bet you vote Republican too....all money money money, me me me. Try building some affordable housing for us....oh, excuse me, that might make you too human.
