Sometimes you get lucky.You could even bring up the subject of seller financing (search online for ideas of how to structure a seller financed offer), and make sure a competent real estate attorney helps write the offer documents (if it gets that far). 

Maybe an investor is flipping a lot of properties and you could offer to pick up and deliver materials to his crews, clean the work sites every night, bring his crew lunch, or whatever.Find a way to make yourself useful to them, and they will reciprocate.

It really depends on how much value you think that extra semester will bring to your goals!

I also invest out of state.The concerns you bring up are valid.

My goal is to convert at least 1/4 of the units in a multifamily I buy into medium term furnished rentals (gradually) to bring in more cash flow.

A traditional single-family rental may net you only $280/month, whereas a co-living setup can bring in over $1,100/month from the same property.4.

Process is simple. 1. purchase contract2. send contract to title company3. bring cash to closing and you're done

If I were the neighbor, it sounds like I'd be the only one bringing money to the table so you could get something you want.

The peak season is during the summer months, between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

When we found this deal the community had around 45 homes in it, now we are close to 60 total homes and looking to bring that number up to around 80.
