In that case, reaching out to the office of student housing at the college or posting your listing on Facebook pages that are created for student housing searches for that college can be a good marketing strategy.

Has anyone used bridge loans for this type of strategy or is there any other loans that anyone would recommend other than HELOC?

Or are there other strategies to get the properties in front of investors?

Many investors get their license for access to MLS and/or to save money on real estate commissions when they buy & sell.It's a good strategy, but only if you are doing VOLUME!

My strategy is buy & hold for stable cash flow with some appreciation over time. 

I also reccomend lining up a contractro early, realy early, from what I’ve heard, so you can keep everything on schedule and budget.So now that you’ve tackled what most investors would call a major job, do you see yourself repeating a similar strategy.. or do you feel like branching out into something else?

@Peter W.From my experience, a second-home investment strategy works best when you meet lender conditions like owner occupancy and rental restrictions.

For example, you can buy 5 new construction homes at great price points in my market that would be perfect for this strategy.

I’ve seen many investors miss oppportunities when combining primary residence use with investment strategies, but you seem to have timed this perfectly.

What has been your strategy of success so far?
