Just yesterday I talked with a gentleman that was wanting to sell me a six month training going over two lessons a month in buying  apartments.The cost was basically 3k or $250 a session which would not and should not break the bank.

What happens if the tenant breaks their lease after four months?

That will completely break my self-sufficiency test. 

Hello All not new to bigger pockets or  the real estate business took a little break to build a solid foundation and to pursue my real estate license for Florida as well and to learn the in's and outs of the business.

The University related events can make or break a full year, so you really have to capitalize on Graduation, Parents Weekend, and home football games.  

And we are talking about $50-200 bucks Thanks for the example break down.

Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find a few good, larger pieces that don't look cheap but also don't break the bank?

If your satisfied with breaking even +/- a couple hundred dollars I think we can certainly find you something in this area but of course your cash flow numbers depend highly on your loan type, interest rate, and percent down. 

A few months later, the refrigerator breaks down at a property.

It is borderline breaking Airbnb rules.
