He's a former SMU professor and plugged into the REI community here.

We get occasional inquires from travelling professors or other college related people. 

If that wasn't enough, @Scott Trench, in his book Set for Life (published by BiggerPockets' publishing arm), also pinpoints exactly the same issue as the most important one in initially building wealth.A pinko politician, a financial analyst/real estate investor, and a hardshell conservative business professor studied bankruptcy,personal finance, and how the rich get rich and stay that way, and they all ended up saying exactly the same thing.

I also remember college professors asking extremely easy questions like this intentionally…and folks getting it wrong.Let’s say a home is for sale for $100,000.

Professors or graduate students traveling in town to teach or take a semester class, people selling their home and needing a landing place before their next, grandparents in town to help out with their newborn grandkids, people coming from out of town for outpatient surgery. 2. 

Visiting professors apparently can be good tenants for MTRs. 

Getrefm.comPerson who runs it was a collegiate professor and very experienced.

We warned him, but  he was a PHD economics professor and only chose to see the upside.   

I knew nothing about science until I asked the professor lol 

That being said; I did recently help my finance-major son to make his professor look like an idiot for creating a graded assignment to "produce the greatest return on $500K invested in the stock market in a 90 day period" for a class.
