@Li-Chen ChangYou need to make sure you truly understand what needs to be done to become a state resident for tuition purposes.

That said, I identify with Brandon as someone who jumped in, got feet wet, underestimated repairs, paid tuition in that respect, and on the back end of it have a cash flowing property and know how I will do things better next time.

If I was 10 years younger (in my 30s) I’d be moving out of those cities into the suburbs to accommodate the needs of my growing family, avoid paying steep private school tuition and have more space to myself.

Even if you close it, it will not pay all your tuition and fees.

I regarded the legal fee as a tuition fee.

Hi "Adrian" - We don't show a client with your name or any tuition received, so I'll assume you're a real person who's using a fake name.

You could do ALL the work (interfacing with the contractors, etc.......but, keeping the mentor informed of every step....having the mentor do onsite inspections at critical steps...) and offer them fifty, sixty, or seventy percent of profit as "tuition".  

While in college my parents paid tuition and I paid all my living costs.

But at this point, I see it as cheap tuition for an education in what not to do in my own business.

Thanks much for helping me think through this...I feel like Captain Obvious is about to deliver me some tuition
