THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
REAL ESTATI
Parents of students look to buy homes to rent out

During the summer of Katie Mulich's freshman year at the University, her parents bought her a house. This was not an extravagant gift for Katie, but rather an investment her parents made.
The senior from Louisberg's mother, Amy Mulich, said there was a lot of number crunching before they decided to buy. She found that the house would be a tax write-off and the rent from the other tenants would cover the mortgage.
"We had to make the numbers work." Amy said.
In her 35 years of selling houses, Lawrence real estate agent Mary Lou Roberts has seen a fair amount of parents buy houses for their children to live in while attending the University. The typical price range parents are buying at is around $100,000. She said some parents buy houses for the benefits of having a place to stay when they want to attend games or other events.
“[Parents] see it as a good investment,” Roberts said. "They will invest rather than paying rent."
Amy and her husband looked for a year before they found a house in a location close to campus with a decent price tag. After renovating it, Katie moved in along with five other girls. This was Amy and her husband's first time buying a house to rent out to college students as well as their daughter.
"It was a learning experience." Amy said. But she found the key was finding responsible students to live there.
Katie said her parents expect her and her roommates to take care of the house while they live there because her parents plan to eventually sell it. When it comes to paying rent, though, Katie says there is some leniency.
"My parents are really flexible, which is nice because they know all the girls here." Katie said.
She also said all the girls in the house get along which is important when living in a house together.
"One bad roommate can make the whole house change," Katie said. "You have to get a group of people that flow together."
Any said they started offering month-to-month leases in case roommate issues did come up. She also recommended that parents consider buying a house if they have the means to do so.

The last time that Tyshawn Taylor will ever play a game on the hardwood of Allen Fieldhouse happened on Saturday against the Texas Longhorns. He wasn't going to let the Horns beat the Jayhawks for the second straight year in Lawrence. Taylor was great throughout the whole game. He went for 22 points on 7-of-15 shooting and 8-of-8 from the line. He also added four rebounds, four assists and three steals on the night.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
his 05 points. For the Jaywalks, it would have been nice to get more from the supporting cast outside of Robinson and Taylor. Robinson and Taylor combined for 47 of the 73 points. It was a good win, especially since they knew Texas needed this victory.
