The student housing market around U of A is a micro market and is fascinating to watch.

If you're trying to replace your work income I would recommend starting in a strong cash flow market like Cleveland, but if you're ok working for a while then you can buy and watch your property appreciate in Columbus. 

One thing to watch out for is the financing aspect of it - could be a hurdle getting a loan if the transaction is "non-arms length" - i.e. between "Friends" - might be worth looking at seller financing too

I watch the guy since he started the chanel, but I don't know if trading is good with him.Yeah Kevin is pretty darn consistent and really good with his analysis.

I also love this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I know people that are really good at their trade (plumbing, cleaning, electrician, etc) but they don't have financial discipline, they don't know how to market, they suck at customer service, they don't use tools to their advantage, etc.Cody Sanchez (lady in the video) buys different types of businesses and makes them profitable by applying basic business disciplines.

Marketing material from commercial brokers in all 50 states, for all sorts of NNN, isn't useful, and you aren't going to really get insights until you narrow your focus a bit.Starbuck is a nice easy thing to watch b/c they are all over and, since Americans have largely replaced their trans fat addition (McDonalds, Burger King) with a sugary caffeine addition (Starbucks), it's likely going to do well for a few decades. 

Other than new construction development same here we have no senior debt its all cash.. of course unlevered returns are are a little less but man is it so much easier to manage and not worry about paying the senior debt all the reporting One has to do etc etc.. having been through a terrible down cycle with syndication decades past and watching what the guys I worked for went through and lost I just decided if we cant pay cash I am not going to do it. 

So now instead of feeding the hungry stock market you can feed the hungry rental.I have watched people keep big debt on their home and then have the stock market crash.

I have read many forums and watched webinars.
