I think all of your suggestions are great possible ideas to do this deal! 

Does anyone have experience with this and have a suggestion of which to go with?

I have never been shy of facing challenges and I truly believe knowledge is power (something my grandfather taught me at a young age)I really want to learn everything there is to learn about realestate and am driven and hungry.Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

If you don’t need cash flow in the near term, my suggestion is to use depreciation to defer taxable gains.

Without knowing the specifics of the Providence market, I would suggest researching the locations of other student housing providers (ex: https://the02908club.com/).

Suggestions? 

That’s a great suggestion, and I had not thought of it.

I suggest you check out Chad Griffiths and Jonathan Hayek.  

Here is my website if you have any suggestions: https://maxiemaids.com/I've tried using cold email and some cold calling to get in contact with realtors and property managers, but it has not turned into consistent business. 

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!
