The college girls are very sweet. 2 play sports on scholarship and work and have told me they pay their own way with their scholarship money, loans, work etc and have good references from previous landlord and credit score. 

The seller has agreed to let us out of the contract but does not agree that we should receive our earnest money back because he says he is able to bet everything damaged and stolen repaired and replaced before closing.   

I have a half dozen years of experience renting out a few single family homes and am looking to bet big in a different market.

Hi Adelaide,For STR - you are going to get most of your business from all the sports events -- racing - Indy 500, football -Colts, NBA - Pacers, WNBA - Fever (Caitlyn Clark), We just hosted the Olympics swim trials, other events include Big Ten Championships, NCAA tournaments (NCAA headquarters here), and the Combine (recruitment for NFL).We also have a pretty busy convention center -- not huge like Vegas or Orlando, but it is solidly booked year round with events like ComiCon, GenCon, Firefighters Association, Future Farmers of America, Candy Expo, and various others.For MTR, you are looking mostly at traveling nurses and medical personnel, you also may get contract workers for the larger corporations like Lilly, Sales Force, or Rolls Royce.Happy to hop on a call and discuss further.

I placed a few bets in those over the past few years, so we'll see. 

Come on, the smart money is betting on a dip or if no dip you lock in high yield debt funds at the turn of the rates and investing in small cap areas that need to tighten to the large cap ratio wise.

Hey August, DSCR would be your next bet if you are wanting to buy another INV property.  

I think my best bet is to find a flexible bank and bring in the down payment as debt.

I would bet that the majority of real estate investors have an equity portfolio where they have no clue about what the companies that they hold do or how they make money.  

That would be your best bet to kind of get the best of both worlds.
