@Dexter CrawfordGreat job with the latest acquisition.

<<No 'bitterness' or 'disillusionment' there -- just a valid OFFER of OPPORTUNITY.But I'll tell you what raises my hackles -- the 'fantasy' (first started by gurus, then enhanced by reality TV shows, and unfortunately still propagated by some posters here) that any form of real estate investing can be SIMPLE or EASY.That's like telling some schmo with a typewriter and a mastery of the alphabet that he can create a bestselling novel!

I have gained more knowledge about the effectiveness of direct mailing and how to further enhance the response rate.

In all cases test before you jump in with big pockets...Take advantage of "Open" techniques and letter styles to better enhance your return.

Even the rent is boosted to $2500/month, the return might not be enhanced since the capital input is $100K higher 

Real estate investing is a great goal but if you stay in college there are so many minors or majors to enhance real estate.

Negotiate the TI's hard with the landlord and get financing on new machines from any of the large major brands like Speed Queen, Huebsch or Dexter, and then get a wash/fold person to run that area as their own business while watching your laundromat for "free".

Additionally, that is traditionally how we get into investing properties - we leverage our W-2 income to build a real estate portfolio that inherently enhances the level of income.So, if you were studying something like gender studies, perhaps dropping out was the wise move because you may not be able to leverage that type of education to get a good W-2 job.

Gov. is saying these enhanced payments can continue for 39 weeks. 

Also, please consider adding a profile picture, I think it really enhances interactions on the forums.
