Student housing is a great real estate investment niche, but here’s an interesting twist on university town housing: properties that target the people who come to town for college football games. It seems that affluent alumni are buying condos or perhaps houses near the university’s stadium so they have confirmed lodging for games—and then renting those units out when they’re not in town. A recent article in the Orlando Sentinel referred to the market as sports real estate.

If you’re interested in land development, this might be a market you want to research.
