Thinking about buying real estate for your college student — or investing in a college-town market?
In this episode of The College Real Estate Coach, host Vikki Grodner sits down with Jeff Wu, a Keller Williams agent serving the Washington DC–Virginia–Maryland corridor, to explore how college real estate investing works in major metropolitan markets.
They discuss how parents are choosing to buy instead of rent for their college students, how alumni and investors approach university-adjacent real estate, and why long-term factors like job centers, hospitals, and infrastructure often matter just as much as the university itself.
This conversation breaks down the realities of buying condos versus single-family homes near universities, the balance between long-term appreciation and short-term cash flow in higher-priced markets, and what parents and investors should know about landlord regulations and rental strategies in different municipalities.
If you’re a parent, investor, or out-of-state buyer considering college-town real estate, this episode offers practical insight into how the right strategy — and the right local expertise — can turn college housing into a long-term opportunity rather than just an expense.
