As a college student myself I have many friends who lived off campus.  I've seen a few people talk about how students are terrible at upkeep.  This is 100% true even when looking at the more responsible students.  We get busy with studying and managing our course work as well as trying to like "college life" and it can be quite a headache for the home owner such as yourself.  The thing with college students is they also do not really care about the quality of the place so as long as the place remains livable you should have no issue finding tenants.  I have seen students paying over 2k a month for an apartment where the toilet seats were falling off and the place was in shambles as well as other wild things.  If kids can live in that your place should be fine!  I'm still new to everything but see if you can add specific clauses to the terms of the lease (such as no parties greater than x people).

Hope you found this helpful!

Thank you both for your thoughts on the matter! I think I'll go with creating a buyers list as my first step. Best way to do that would be through meet ups correct? Maybe meet an investor friendly agent to get connected?

@Nathan Grabau Currently I am just trying to read up to figure out how I would like to set up the properties I plan on getting in the future. I would like to get my first property next year but will most likely need to go out of state to afford one. Until then I planned on wholesaling as a way to build capital to reach that goal. I figured if I were to start with that it may be beneficial to keep them under 1 LLC to begin with but I am still pretty new to the game and in the researching zone.

Hey everyone, still new and been trying to do a lot of research on wholesaling. Grnerally I've seen people saying to have some sort of a buyers list before approaching a deal. Do you all agree and what are some tips in creating that list to begin with?

PS: Please share any other good reads or watches on wholesaling I have much to learn!

@Nathan Grabau You said that you hold them in LLCs as in plural? Do you create an LLC for each property or do you format it a different way?

 I appreciate it a ton I will definitely check out the bookstore!  

Hello everyone, my name is Chris and I am from NJ. I found the Real Estate Rookie podcast a few weeks ago and have been binge listening to it!  It has replaced music on my car rides and I have listened through the work day too.  I am a 21 year old college senior who will be graduating in the spring of 2023 with a degree in social work.  In the meantime I have gotten extremely curious about wholesaling as an introduction to the field.  Long term I would like my portfolio to consist of a mix of long and short term rentals.  If you are a wholesaler I would LOVE to chat and try to boost my understanding of the craft (I only just learned of the concept recently and am trying to get a firm grasp on the ins and outs before diving in).  

If you have any book recommendations on real estate or business in general I would love to hear them!

Already seen how welcoming the community is so I cant wait to start getting to know people better!
