If they have a solid track of students making money reliably, heck yeah absolutely go for it.But don't go for it because you already want to and you just want validation from others.

I might be off track but it seems like you might be looking at the numbers and not the deal.

It sounds like you're already on the right track by doing your research ahead of time. 

Open a personal account, use their banking services & if you can demonstrate a track record of executing on the real estate loans they fund for you, these relationships can really accelerate your growth.

I know sellers who find a buyer with a track record and the seller does seller financing so there isn't a big capital gains issue (plus they're making money on interest). 

Track income, build a reserve, calculate DTI, stabilize income through diversification, and start small.

I was already on track to retire at 49 (2022) and decided to buy a vacation rental in my town in 2020 for something to do, extra income and appreciation but also as overflow for friends and family to visit.  

Happy to make an intro to the CS Outsource answering service team that does our late-night support.They help with 24/7 emergency support, overnight coverage, troubleshooting issues, dispatching approved vendors & local staff, tracking and managing maintenance work orders, and other back-office tasks.

We use a spreadsheet to track any deductions for issues caused by tenant damage.

.: @Dave Hagen@James Hamling@James Hamlingi'll ask a genuine question and maybe get us back on track.
