Campus housing has been under tremendous headwinds for the last 4 years.These properties were sold with extremely aggressively optimistic projections, as well as a price that represented a significant premium to fair market value.So sorry to hear about your investment.

You have to know the market before you build a plan and I don't think this market supports your intended plan.

From my experience, cities like Greenville, Columbia, Augusta, Huntsville, Chattanooga, and Jacksonville offer strong house-hacking opportunities with growing job markets, solid rental demand, and affordable multi-family options.

It’s not an arms length transaction if your wife owns the selling trust that’s buying her parent’s property for less than market value.

Depending on the condition you'll command a better price on the MLS vs. off market.

Until the lease ends and then the legal notice time in your market has passed.

Market Demand: Buyers love move-in-ready homes, and flips are often the most attractive properties on the market.

Housing pressures will vary by market.

For multifamily, target markets with strong rental demand, value-add opportunities, and creative financing options like seller financing or private capital.
