Getting a property to rent is something I've been interested in for a long time, maybe because I'm from an area with a high concentration of colleges and universities. A couple of nice 1 bedrooms in decent parts of Boston might be a decent investment.

I like the idea of airbnb, which I'd never heard of, but it does seem a bit more hands-on.

Maybe you should just rent a bunch of apartments, furnish them and then sublet them at a return?
