If you just called someone up and asked how you could help them, you would be ten steps ahead of Bobby, who is stammering through the first line of a script from 1974 about a cash offer when the homeowner bought the house for 51k in 1978 and it's worth 804k (aka does not need cash, he needs a place to go).Agree 💯!

It sounds like there is some scale in the deal for a fix and flip, but you would surely be way out ahead of your skis to do that based on what you said.

When the market swings the opposite direction, you'll be ahead of the game.

If you buy in at a good cost basis with solid fundamentals, you're going to come out ahead in the long term.

On paper sit down with a realtor and an REI investor and build a scaling template so you can see the path ahead.  

Just a heads up for future reference.

@Staci Kou I think it's a good idea to show them the lease ahead of time and they can show it to their parents if they like. 

Your property management background will give you a head start.

I would say this to make sure you are planning your financials ahead of time to keep your options open and help you be more flexible when working on deals.
