One thing I would definitely recommend is getting the students' parents to co-sign on the lease.

Moving to CO this year.

Here in East Tennessee (Sevier Co/Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg), we are consistently ranked high on lists-for good reason. 

I have a program nationwide that does NOT require GC to sign anything, only provide proof of 3 C/O's (certificate of occupancy) over the last year I.e. built received occupancy permission now unit is on market or habitable.  700+ FICO I can get you 80%LTC loan to cost on the project on ground up construction for 1-4 units. 

Also, co-living situations or top performing short-term rentals can produce a pretty high cash on cash return but again they are pretty active with a high turnover of tenants and guests unless you find someone else to manage them and then you are usually paying a good portion of the profits to the manager.But let's say that you have a job and are not interested in fixing and flipping or a high turnover type of investment and you would rather be a more passive investor.

I have heard good things about Ohio, Indiana, etc.5 - Due to high interest rates flipping has become highly risky and most businesses have dried up.6 - Co-living and Assisted living seems to be popular right now.So - really depends on your market, your strategy, and your timeline.

We've had some success recovering money owed, and we've seen it on credit reports.Recently a former tenant attempted to co-sign for another prospective tenant.

We hired and paid an appraisal co to come out on a Saturday so lender would have it on Monday.

Go on his website at obsidian capital co and you will find it.

When applying for loans, do not list your wife as the co borrower and vice versa.
