Oh, Mohammed, that's very kind of you.

I wouldn’t think those are common numbers.. if you’re buying properties at 26K regularly that’s a different story.

Thank you for your kind words I appreciate that.  

Often, I have cash sitting around between opportunities and have looked all over for a bank that will hold the cash in some kind of interest-bearing account.

I asked if she could kindly advocate on my behalf now that she knows I am not a scammer and she said (in another very long message), essentially no.

If paid by the lender (this is common for conventional financing, especially with retail lenders), the origination and/or underwriting fee is “baked” into the interest rate, therefore giving you a higher rate in exchange for lower out of pocket costs. 

A 1031 exchange defers all taxes by reinvesting in a like-kind property, preserving capital for long-term investments but adds complexity and future tax obligations.

Thanks @Nick Belsky, What kind of rates have you been seeing?

Smartland has recently expanded into the world of Student Housing and I am looking for some opinions on this kind of investment.Background:We have secured a building on a small college campus in Cleveland that currently does not offer student housing to its students on campus.

So if it can do that, shouldn't it be able to be pointed to any website of your choice, search through groups/posts/etc and communicate with anyone who displays some kind of "intent" to sell, and if no intent is found, it could generate "curiousity" and help develop some curiousity from anyone in the group, and it could do this, until all possible efforts have been exhausted over time.
