Have you seen the new parking lot for boats at the Mariana on the north end?

@Mariana K., you are very welcome! 

lol I meant to take Marian as a response but it appears BiggerPockets knew I needed to get connected with you on this.

@Mariana Pasin I would highly recommend first connecting with some local PMs and/or some local landlords in the college market you're wanting to pursue.I've been investing in student rentals for 13 years in my market of Columbia, SC but have talked to lots of landlords in other college towns.

Hi Marian,A few thoughts, although I don't always advise pulling money out of your house if you cannot afford the additional cost of mortgage.Depending on availability in the area I would recommend finding a duplex/triplex that you can put 20% down on  using 100k of your capital and spending the 75K on the carrying cost and fix up.Search beyond your local area.
