My name is Josh Ricord and I am a recent Biomechanics and MBA graduate and retired student athlete as of 2023.

There are lots of students.

Are you intending to rent to students? 

Same day they were meeting with me they had a finance guy in talking about how they could finance their students tuition's.

I think of Joe Asamoah with the Section 8 strategy deployed in Washington DC and keeping tenants for many years (even decades), but maximum reimbursement appears to be $3,740 for 4 bedrooms and market rate family tenants will likely turnover every year or two as they would likely be looking to own in the area.I think rent by the room (students or university professionals) would be the best way to cash flow the property while paying off the mortgage.

They've been slowing down on hiring travel RNs, maybe med students/residents?

I have a 3 properties in JHB: one apartment, one multi family and one student accommodation.

And there's an abundance of low-end rentals that skip background checks. actually there's no such thing as low end LOL. look, a UC berkeley student that rent a room, they rent a room in berkeley for $800.case two, husband and wife that's crossing from Nicaragua, they rent ADU for $2500.

I always say first pay down CC, student loans and/or car loans.  

There is age of building, design of building, parcel size, usable land, shape of the parcel, sightlines from the road, access from the road, any junior anchors beside it and large anchors behind it to drive interconnectivity on a daily basis.If the building is typically more than 15 to 20 years old you are not landing a national tenant for it.
