Ticket #8125531.

I’m thinking maybe I don’t need to worry so much about accounting for maintenance & capex in the first couple years since a lot of those big-ticket items are brand new/recently upgraded?

Went to school 20 miles from the Canadian boarder where it was regularly -20 degrees in the winter, and we'd still rather be .2 miles from the bars & well over a mile walk/ drive from the actual school.I do see a lot of first time investors thinking that student housing is going to be their passive golden ticket, but quickly realize how much work it really is.

Try to work or internship under a local property management company to get some training and learn the ins and outs of it.

BP also uses volunteer moderators (people with Hollywood good looks and keen intellect, such as myself) with little training or monitoring.

The problem is that most wholesalers or off-market acquisition folks are being "trained" to follow a script, not solve a problem.

I’m considering formal training or certification programs to sharpen my skills and possibly expand into managing additional properties.For those of you with more experience, which property management organizations or certifications would you recommend?

If that's true, then once someone has the login they can use that login to buy movies, PPV, upgrade to 4k, NFL Ticket, etc...

Real estate will not be your magic ticket out.

The units look nice, the apartments are spacious and located in a nice town, close to the NYC train (50 mins from NYC).
