I would love to talk to someone who has rented to college students before and sort of pick their brain.  

One of my clients picked up a duplex in Albany Park last year, and the rental income not only covered the mortgage but also gave him extra cash for daycare expenses.

Would love to connect and pick your brains on the process!

I’ve heard lots of professional investors bash LoopNet but I’ve had multiple home runs from deals I picked up there.

My first question is do I pick a good, better, best system that costs from less to more $$ and do I justify the more expensive energy efficient system to grab a little higher rents since tenants will save money.

To find a pre-foreclosure home, buyers can search popular websites that pick up feeds from an aggregator or they can pay for the feed.

Over the years, I've done several dozen of these and know how to pick a good one. 

Pick your battles. 

Whatever you buy you likely won’t keep it down the line as you better define your investment strategy, so my advice is to pick an asset that’s going to teach you the most in the quickest amount of time.

Yes, we need to treat it like a business; however, when renting out a room in your personal home, you're essentially picking a roommate.
