Just saw a local news story today, a recent ABODO.com study says Bryan / College Station ranks as the highest percentage of renters in the nation at 59%. I knew our rental market was strong, but jeez! This is why I'm drawn to REI and working with investors.
Recent update: Less than 30 days ago, I got married. We are already under contract on our first future rental. It is very close to the community college and has great rental appeal. it's set to close in 30 days. This is the first of many rentals we plan to acquire! I also helped a BP client put an immaculate rental in a very sought after FTHB/college rental community under contract last week. That should close beginning of May to be rented out in the summertime. Found the buyer on craigslist, wasn't posted on MLS or online. Most agents probably wouldn't have seen it, but I enjoy going the extra mile. I go through every foreclosure auction listing as well as scour the web trying to find deals.
Shoutout to BiggerPockets for the knowledge and connections that they continue to provide to help myself and my new bride set up our future!
Cheer everyone!
