The good news - there are plenty of family-friendly neighborhoods between St Paul and S Mpls which offer decent opportunities for a househacker - you just need to know where to look, what to avoid, and where the opportunities are (undervalued properties, under rented units, value-add opportunities).

Leveraging out-of-state turnkey rental properties could be another time-efficient path, offering stable cash flow and potential appreciation.

Came across Robuilt’s Black Friday offering for his Comping Course Black Friday deal.

Hey Elizabeth - I'd factor in about $10k to get a padsplit up and running when it comes to furnishing which would include washer / dryer, additional fridge, bedding/desks, common area furnishings if you want to offer a little better experience.I'm only familiar with ATL - I think accounting for 1 move in / 1 move out per month is a good conservative assumption here.$8kish / year or so on routine and reactive maintenance combined which should include your cleanings, lawn care, maintenance calls ect. 12% per month of gross rents should be a good estimate if you want to look at it like that!

It offers excellent potential for investors due to the multiple exit strategies available.

They also offer a small business plan if you need additional functionality for rentals. 

Heck, maybe the school offers lower tuition for instate students?

Mark, thanks for offering to share your pitchbook.

If both the criteria make sense, I am looking at the property in person and planning to make an offer if within my budget.

Generally ive offered equity or debt on deals but never on the operations.
