Start at the beginning, be productive using the resources you have in abundance, create value for others while building your accounts.Also, I second what @Nicholas L. has instructed.

Hello Everyone,  thanks for the abundance of replies and great info.I was considering acting as the GC myself to make sure everything progressed in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary delays, however what I should be focusing on instead is to act as the Project Manager or hire a 3rd party Project Manager.  

I have had an ABUNDANCE of people interested, but nobody willing to pay $39 for an app. 

Opportunity is abundant, one just needs to recognize it and act upon it.

Deals were abundant and bargain priced.Swore I'd stop at 50.

Zillow, which comes with a host of restrictions expressly prohibiting "enriching other datasets" etc)*) Those who will process and sanitize MLS for you (which is a huge task in itself) but you have to have MLS creds, meaning you have to deal with the zoo of MLS providers all by yourself - or pay something like $1200/mo for nationwide (US + Canada) listing feed*) Folks who charge per call (CoreLogic, House Canary etc.) and who have high quality sets but they don't want you to mine them so they set all sorts of call rates and excessive price per call to ward off "gold diggers"It is a mistake to say that the data "is abundant" and "if it is available, it must be worthless".

Of course, depending on what deals become available, I would definitely consider doing multifamily, but I'd prefer to start with single family unless something jumps out at me.I've thought about this a lot, and here's a list of the advantages/disadvantages that I've assembled:Pros:     - Higher demand during the school year, meaning likely far more consistent vacancy rates (the main reason I thought about this idea at all - I like consistency)     - If it's a fixer-upper, I'll have the entire summer to work on it as my parents live close to the university, and any remaining work I can do in my free time during the year since I'll be living there (Just a general advantage of house-hacking)     - Allows me to get my feet wet with investing while still pursuing my degreeCons:     - Depending on the area, much higher vacancies than other properties (assuming, of course, the months of June, July, Aug, and Dec will be vacant, so a vacancy rate of 33%)     - Since it's a small town, there isn't a large supply of homes within walking distance of the university (currently 2 on-market being sold) - although last year's foreclosure auction suggests that that may be an abundant avenue to locate deals     - This town is notoriously a party town, so rental properties here may be more prone to getting trashed, although this doesn't seem to be an issue in any of the properties currently being rented that I know of, even in the bigger houses that host parties nearly every weekendI could also consider purchasing properties within ~5 miles of campus, so not walkable, but more than reasonable driving distance, although they will rent for less.

Gratitude is the result of actions or gestures of kindness, and profiting off of the scarcity of your abundance isn't kindness. 

And especially in luxury segment, it's all about the exclusivity, that it's not abundant, there is enough to be known but few enough to be "special" and priced accordingly that a person will fly in on private jet, and spend there time there.

While it would be nice to have that as an option it seems there is an over abundance of housing and the main season is in the summer as the area isn’t getting as much snow as it might have used to.
