I recently helped a client, a UT student from out of state, close on a condominium. Part of a gated complex with a pool and clubhouse, the property is modern, elegant and a short drive from UT. Best of all, after owning the condo for a year’s time (UT’s standard for becoming an official Texas resident), my client will qualify for in-state tuition, a move that will save her thousands of dollars over the course of her college career. I’ve been helping out-of-state students in this way for many years now—seeking out convenient, livable properties close to campus that students can buy, live in and get in-state tuition and, when they graduate, if they choose to, sell for a profit.
