(Look up Silicon Slopes) we have Adobe, Facebook, Domo, Qualtrics, Ebay, and about twenty other large tech companies.4.

Great points, the research and time to build each one is an art.

However, right now I would love to dive into the world of rehabbing properties, as I feel this is a great way to master the art of finding deals, building connections, learning the renovation process, and building capital to ultimately reinvest into rentals.

I am VERY frugal with my money (I work part-time now in an unrelated field) I don't have a degree higher than an associate in arts degree that I recently earned.

The first time it was a HUD REO and they didnt disclose it and I didnt do a test so it cost me nearly 40k to install a state of the art system that MDE had to approve. 

The sponsor's ability to discuss risks and articulate how they'll deliver outsized value relative to the risk taken is the art of raising capital and should not be accompanied by any statements that gloss over risk, which include comparisons to publicly-traded securities with hoards of scrutiny you aren't going to be able to afford to provide in your project. 

Standard College Rental- Cash out refi with a 30 year fixed, get 70% of my money back (possibly more as I'm buying it under market value) - Rent to local liberal arts college students for $1200/mo and (according to the rental calc) cash flow positive around $300/mo 2. 

It is more art than science.

As you know appraisal is an art not a science and that is why you can easily challenge the tax assessor.

Best advice as to what I can do during this time to get it rented soon after they vacate the property.TIA,Art
