Not to make this even more challenging for you, but if you get an inspection make sure it is from someone who has a very good reputation for being thorough.

If you're going to a small school that doesn't have a reputable business program you're not going to gain access to those networks. 

Make a reputation for yourself as someone that cares about his tenants and not as a liar.

By this I mean either find a way to add value to someone in the space (not asking them what you can do for them but providing actual value by presenting a way you can help, even if that means going to work for free) OR find a reputable investor that you can invest in mentorship from - the key is the really do your research here and not throw money at the first program that jumps in front of you- make sure they are doing it at a high level and have the results you want.

Never risk your integrity to make a sale, one deal will never make you rich, but losing your reputation and integrity will probably leave you broke. 3.)
