I'm a doc and just began my real estate investing last year. I also live near Oklahoma City. Maybe you'll match here, and can "rent to yourself". 

yep. Change happened from this morning to this afternoon

Yes, but there is no longer a link in the notification email. Like as of just now, as far as I can tell.

When Dominic replied earlier, I got an email and was able to click the link directly from there to get to the last post. 

Thanks all. I had had already spoken with Topco and they've guided me. Wow, didn't realize that even Formica would cost me 1k May look into the granite.

that's great. The contract mentions the portion of lease payment. Do you officially split your rents among students? Or hold the guarantor liable for all of it?

hi roy. Thanks again for the insight. 

Knowing of course that legal specifics can vary from state/locale, do you have an example guarantor contract?

Can you clarify a guarantor? Isn't that essentially the same thing? Separate contract? Since people are jointly and severally liable on a lease, I'd think that separate application fee and "tenant" screening would suffice? Thank you for teaching me!

Hello OKC-area investors I'm a newbie. I'm looking for some leads for handymen and more specifically someone to help with some new kitchen and bathroom countertops in a small (<1000 sf) home in Edmond. Currently peeling Formica, and looking to replace it. I've thought about other solid surfaces, but not sure about cost vs benefit in a rent home. Anybody have some good names? Thanks

I finished residency about 21 years ago. Most of the comments are spot-on, except the "2-2.5 years" comment about residency length. Residencies are a minimum of 3 years and often up to 6 years after medical school. Agree that most loans are deferred until after residency, with only very rare exceptions. I've got a question myself: I have a young family (Physician Assistant student) on student loans only. I'm sure I can get documentation of their bank deposits and student loan amounts, and speak with their training program to see if they're stable. But should I get a cosigner for the lease since there really isn't any "income"?
