Post: College student renting

I live in a college town and I've done this before.  If I were you, I'd rent to teachers or staff, meaning adults.  Renting to college kids sounds great in theory but if you want to preserve your property, you might want to consider more mature clientele.  Most schools have new teachers and staff coming every year just like students so just something to think about. (They also tend to stay longer.)

Quote from @Rich Knorr:

told us 2 weeks or so. completed title check 2 weeks ago. we are now 4 weeks out and still no answers. they will tell you whatever it takes to keep you baited. beware. will give another week and see if its still a run around


 I agree.  After a couple of different people reached out to me to keep baiting me, then nothing.  And I couldn't get either of them back on the phone.  I've determined that they are full of you know what.  I don't know what they gain from stringing you along but they're not worth the time. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!

Quote from @Lena Claybon:

I've been trying to get a deal done with this company for two months.  First, they wanted to charge me $1000 upfront so "their attorneys" could prepare the paperwork but I pushed back and said my title company could take care of the paperwork on my end which they seemingly agreed to.

I was dealing with Ryan Koester who put me on the phone with Scott Ulmer (the guy in the videos on the pmlbridgefund.com website).  After that, they sent me a "Conditional Commitment Letter Proposal outlining the terms of my deal with them. Then they asked me to fill out and return a few documents which I did.  After that, its been crickets.  I've followed up with Ryan multiple times. He initially sent a text saying my documents were being reviewed.  After that, he hasn't answered any of my texts or returned my phone calls.  My title company also reached out to him and I don't think they've heard from him either so I don't know what his deal is.  I asked him to just let me know if they've passed and still nothing.

I even tried to get Scott Ulmer on the line who said during the phone call that I can call him anytime.  All I got was someone saying she was his assistant  for but some reason couldn't get him on the line either and she sound like she was at home on her cell phone.  Anyway, I'd just say proceed with caution.  IF it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.


 UPDATE:  Finally got a call today from someone at the company.  Said there had been a breakdown in communication and she was handling my case.  Asked me to send her all my docs which I did.  We'll see where it goes from here.  Will keep you posted!

Hi G Jain, I don't know what kind of return you're getting in San Jose but I''m in Louisiana and I know for sure properties down this way are much cheaper with about the same ratio of return of most bigger markets.  Have you considered investing down South?

First of all, yes, this is an endorsement but its an endorsement because I use this software and I am blown away by all that it does! I know Propstream has been around for a while but up until recently I still used "old school" methods to find my leads and do deals. Getting all the info you needed for one property was a pain, from trying to find comps, looking up tax records for owner info, skip tracing, etc. all using different sites. Then I discovered Propstream. Once you put in the address, it gives you actual MLS comps (which, up until now, you could only get through realtors), you get the Owner's contact info right there and if there's no phone number, Propstream has a built in skip trace program (it's an extra fee but the time it saves is worth it).

It also has a built-in program to send a postcard to the address with just a few clicks. Not to mention a ton of other things it does that would take too much time to get into here. But I can't tell you the legwork it has saved me! So, yes, I'm a fan! It also comes with a 7-Day trial so if you'd like to check it out, go here: https://trial.propstreampro.co...

No obligation.
