@Bill Zepeda I agree with @Max Tanenbaum, include each student athlete on the lease with the coach as a guarantor.  

I just graduated and I was a great student athlete, now I want to use that competitive spirit and become a student in real estate.

I just dont think it's wise to sell it. 80% of people who go to this university is from out of town, and this university doesn't provide student housing unless you are an athlete, so the market will always be there as long as the university is there.

The other thing you need to remember is you might have depreciation recovery and it may hit you another blow at tax time.

Hello BP!Looking for a little feedback on my first REI deal.Background: Joined BP last year, read a lot of books, and listened to all the podcasts. Got my wife involved (she's the smart one) and we got a HELOC on our ...

Mario,I'd strongly consider reporting them to the Florida Real Estate Board (you can find a link on myfloridalicense.com).I am not sure what you can do about recovering funds that were stolen that were not in escrow, but you should be protected against lost escrow money from the Florida Real Estate Recovery Fund.We manage property in both Orlando and Tampa and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

It is very simple and BP makes it very easy for you to do.For example: A recent article by Chris Clothier. http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2012/07/18/are-appraisers-part-of-the-problem-with-slow-housing-price-recovery/#comment-107417 Can look like this: A recent article by Chris Clorthier.Short version[ url=http://www.whateverwebsiteyouwant] Text that people can click.[ /url]Just remove the space before url in both the first "url tag" and the ending "url tag".

While I am not from Detroit, there is no doubt in my mind that it will make a least a partial recovery.

So, holding this and waiting for a real estate recovery could easily cost well over the $30,000 loss he would take now.Mike

Don,Prices have to come way down and the credit markets have to recover. I
