Seller was easy to deal with, tenants were month to month, and the college was within walking distance How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

College students may appreciate a quiet study area or a place to visit with guests while their roommate studies in the apartment.Maybe there's a need for a coffee shop or other small business that needs very little room but also provides a service your tenants would be interested in?

If anyone has any agent connections that I could get in touch with to discuss best practices, that would be super helpful!

They are actively restricting the practice of wholesaling.
