Some background on me - I went to college with a degree I thought I was gonna use, thought I wanted to apply to PT school, but soon after I graduated I had a massive change of heart and decided that I no longer wanted to pursue that route anymore because I felt my future was so much brighter than to be stuck working day and night in that kind of profession.

I know a rental arbitrage opportunity in the Bryan / College Station, Texas market if you want me to send you some more details. 

I invest in college towns and resort towns mostly with a summer lake warm lakes and ski hill within 30 min with little to no vacancy. 

Both Richmond and Atlanta are booming cities with multiple known colleges hubbed in the center.

They generally have out of college/construction unseasoned folks doing the paper permit reviews from what I've seen based on the comments that come back. 

It is very embarrassing to admit that a woman who has been an entrepreneur, taught college, and accomplished a few things in life, could be so totally taken in.

For the financial side they hire third year financial analysts (3 years removed from college) because they cost one quarter of what a qualified employee would cost.  

In my local market (College Station, TX), high rates in 2024 already caused a big jump in inventory, which created some good buying opportunities.

The implication that anyone who pays for college education, or works at a 9 -5 job is stupid 

I've been interested in real estate investment since college but I've either been without the capital or without the confidence to take the first step.
