We are already surrounded on three sides by urban zoned homes.My neighbors and I have been approached by two individuals, one is a neighbor who is a real estate agent, and the other one a friend of a neighbor, who works with a real estate attorney; both individuals asked us to join them in working with the 5-6 developers they have approached.

Hi, I have a friend who owns a house outright and uses it as an airbnb.

Finder's fees of 30% of first month of rent that one of my friend paid in Collin county.

To maximize cash flow, find suitable properties, analyze numbers, and focus on student-friendly amenities.

Friends of friends look good, anxious to take possession asap, even tell me openly they will be on the street by dd/mm/yy.We have to treat them just like every other applicant, even though we didn't sign up to be a Social Service for the County. 

I am an investor friendly realtor and all of my investors do section 8!

Quote from @Sharad Bagri: We are a few friends from California looking to invest in multi family real estate in Ohio.

***To ALL my RE friends, lenders, wholesalers, closing attorneys etc (Metro Atlanta so far)***If you have ANY current or past deals with any of these names, let me know! 

In today's world you need to be about 28-35% down on properties to be gross cash flow positive, closer to 40-42% to be truly net cash flow positive(i.e 50% of your income goes to maintaining the property, other 50% is actually profit).My recommendation is to buy ideally a 4/3 SFR that's a starter-friendly one in a good area, and rent it out by the room.

@Charmaine Alard why don't you start with comparing the rent you charged your friend vs the rent you could have charged according to Zillow Rent Estimate or Rent-O-Meter.THEN compare that to what a PMC would cost.
