I have begun engaging with several agents on available properties, while at the same time, trying to put the structure in place to support my future acquisition. 

@Taylor KendrickYour budget depends on your DTI, available funds, and what investment strategy & financing you intend to use.If you're looking to buy & hold properties as a non-owner occupant (investor loan), you will need to put down 20-25% if you are getting a loan.

It’s also not as cost effective to just upgrade one unit when it’s vacant because then you lose economies of scale and in the instance of materials things may not be available over an extended period of time and you may end up with mismatched windows or something.

Is anyone familiar with the local market and available to chat? 

I work 3rd shift and usually turn my phone off when I sleep during the day and this morning he FINALLY came to the realization that I want him to just make decisions about everything if I’m not available.

Once you buy something, you can also let them know you have rental units available for students. 

The personnel  they use to collect the money and do repairs do it everyday and have the parts available for a quick fix.

This is an opportunity to emphasize to future guests that you are always available to address needs as they happen.

A 14-day trial is available for $1.5.

Or also telling me hey even though you like it this is not a good deal, or location, or whatever. 2w ago I messaged to see a property but they were out of town for two days and then I was. 10d ago I asked about seeing another property which wasn't available to look at until this week.
