@Scott Lorence make sure you find a PMC that has experience dealing with college rentals. 

I have an associates in human services but I am wanting/ willing to get experience where I can learn more of the ins and outs of real estate whether it be loans, property managment, etc.

For example, I own two large multifamily buildings, and when I tried to get a tax exemption for them, I had different experiences.

We have experience purchasing properties through our LLC using lending, where we own 100% of the properties.

Anyone have any experience in the area that can speak to rents?

If its home that went through a remodel, typically there is not any sort of warranty and you will still experience some work orders come in.Either way, great option for some investors and currently there are still some deals out there that you can walk into equity with, which is typically why you'd want a non-turnkey property. builder warranties are for 1 year typically.. 

From my experience working with over 400 investors, those who start with house hacking scale much faster.Good luck!

You bring the capital connection, they bring the operational expertise, and then you learn while doing.A warning from experience: don't underestimate the difference in tenant management.

Atleast in my experience.

Looks like you have a ton of experience and will be a good asset to this group!
