Cascades Pointe Condominiums for Parents

Your Property Investment Starts Working Full-Time
Even Before Your Student Does

The math part is easy - paying rent for four years can Qualify Me in 24 Hoursbe a financial drain, but an investment in acondominium home for your student can represent financial gain. The purchase of a near-campus property at Cascades Pointe Condominiums is easy, too. For most individuals, mortgage interest is tax-deductible. There's the roommate factor, too - if your student shares the unit with another person who pays rent, your monthly expenses go down while you build equity. Then, when your student graduates or moves, you can sell the property or keep it to generate ongoing rental income.

We keep the purchase process simple: VIP Group's structure allows our preferred lenders to provide special programs and incentives throughout your purchasing process. We have established relationships with many partners to make the purchase of your condo the easiest it can be.
