Just realized I posted in house hacking, sorry about that!

Hey BiggerPockets fam!

I am a college student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and came across a genius Air BnB arbitrage idea.

There are 15 students who are going abroad for 5 months and are leaving their units vacant because they are too lazy/incompetent to sublease their apartments. I have created a model where I would pick up their sublease for 60 cents on the dollar (around 600 for each unit) and rent it out on air bnb for $100-$200 a day with an expected occupancy of 75% - $24,750-$58,500 per month for 5 months (if feasible, I could expand to upwards of 100 students).

Sounds great right?

However, I have one issue:

In the terms of the lease, it states "All sublets must be approved in writing by management". Do you think I will have any issues with the landlord in doing so? 

I would love some help from experienced Air BnB'ers and would definitely consider doing this as a JV.

Please let me know Y'all's thoughts!!!!

Hey Ya'll - I am a college student who has been learning about real estate for the last couple of months. For all of you seasoned investors, I have a couple of questions for you....

I) If you had to start over today, what path would you take to get to financial freedom and how would you proceed in doing so?

II) What have been your key takeaways along this amazing journey?

III) What advice do you have for new investors looking to reach their goals?

IV) What is your favorite non-real estate activity😊?

Thank you all for sharing your wisdom - I can't wait to reach the level of all of you successful investors!

Hey everyone! I am seeking advice on the best possible way to find off market leads. How have ya'll been successful in that endeavor?

Hey BP family! In an attempt to find better leads, I recently purchased the software program Propstream. However, I am searching for assistance on utilizing the technology best to derive off-market leads. I will compensate anyone and everyone for their time and help! Thank you so much ya'll. 

Hey BiggerPockets fans! I am a 19 year old college student and have been learning about real estate for the last 5 months and am finally starting to place offers on properties! I am posting this in hopes of finding someone who can help me along the journey. Some struggles I have been dealing with are approaching off market deals and trying to come up with a rehab budget without having a GC walk the property. Currently, I have raised a good amount of capital and am looking to learn from people's past success! Just as I am asking for help, I am also looking to help others with anything and everything! I will do anything from handwriting letters for potential leads, underwriting deals, craigslist marketing, etc (whatever you need assistance with). Just as I would love to learn from the best, I want to do my part in giving back. I can confidently say that I have a very strong work ethic when it comes to turning my intangible desires into a tangible reality. With that being said, I would love for anybody to reach out and share me some of your wisdom as you've journeyed through your investing career!!!!
