In February of 2010, activity and interest were beginning to start for UCF parents who wanted to invest in a property for their student.
Instead of throwing rent down the drain on a local apartment, the sharp price decline in the UCF area has allowed parents to not only get a great deal on a home, but save money monthly. When purchasing a 3 or 4 bedrooms home, 2 or 3 of the rooms can be rented to friends in the range of $500 dollars per month.
This allows the parents to pay less per month for their child’s housing, give them the opportunity for a big payoff when they sell the property and offers their child a much safer / study friendly environment as opposed to off campus apartments.
These types of properties can be purchased somewhere north or south of $150,000, with many townhomes in the low 100,000 range.
Be warned inventory in these areas gets very low in the summer time as parents from all over the United States, especially South Florida come into town to stake their claim on the perfect home.
