We had a meeting with a smaller local bank a couple months ago and their VP on the commercial side stated that they had an appetite for nearly anything we wanted to get into EXCEPT Temple student rentals.

Again, this depends on your risk appetite.

However, I feel AJ's book is a little light on specifics, jumbled, and really a marketing tool to entice you to invest in his coaching.Stacy Rossetti is someone I recently stumbled across and she seems very credible: https://www.youtube.com/channe...She has a lot of free videos to whet your appetite, then she offers coaching, analysis tools, and can even help you locate your first facility.

It saves me money once I've spoken with someone and they've shown no motivation to not mail them again.I of course take them off my list but after 180 days listsource will no longer suppress those names.

Due to it being over 4-units I had to get a full set of MEP Plans including a 13r fire suppression system.

No sale date (suppress against the first list before purchase.Don't remove duplicatesNow run these listsEquity Percentage - 30% or greaterEquity Dollar - 1 to $1,000,000 (this will increase to 200,000 above median in higher price point areas) Property Type - SFR, Duplexes, Triplexes and 4-Plexes Total Assessed Value - 1 to $1,000,000 (this will increase to 200,000 above median in higher price point areas)Total Current Value - 1 to $1,000,000 (this will increase to 200,000 above median in higher price point areas) Include All occupancy/owner types (Trusts, Corps, Absentees and Owner Occupied)Now run two lists Sale date from 1-1-1900 to today.

List 1 run for absentee and owner occupied separately30-100 equity30,000+ equity dollar2-3 bedroomslast sale date to the day of list pullCurrent value zero to medianSFR NO trusts or corpsList 2 run for absentee and owner occupied separately 30-100 equity30,000+ equity dollar2-3 bedroomsNo sale date filterCurrent value zero to medianSFR Include trusts or corpsDon't dedup this list but suppress against list 1

One thing to remember is if pulling both list is to suppress your sellers list against your buyers list so that you dont mail "I want to buy your House" mail to investors actively buying.

And when you buy your new list don't suppress it against the previous one.  

All one needs to do is buy the  list with 1-1-1900 to today as last sale date and suppress against that a list without the sale date as a filter.
