Had family rent from us and they were open to the updates being done while they were residing in the property.

While it sounds really good they don't charge a monthly PM fee, they're making money somewhere. 

College rentals are relatively expensive and come with their own unique challenges:1) Roommates not getting along2) No one cleaning or maintaining the property3) Weekend party damages4) Etc...While you are considering what to invest in, recommend you also figure out the property Class you want to invest in.Why is Property Class so important for investors to understand and apply in their investing strategies?

JD, don’t disagree on some of the points you’re making above on responsive Web versus mobile app development, but it all comes down to level of engagement and what you’re looking to do with a site or service.

@Jordan Miller most Class A & B rental properties bought since 2021 really don't cashflow from day one.Class B will take 1-3 years to start showing cashflow.Class A, 3-5 years.Current investors keep making the mistake of looking back at deals from 5-10 years ago when prices & interest rates were both a lot lower, but NOT rental rates.

Multifamily properties (2-4 units) can be a great way to build your portfolio while minimizing risk—especially with FHA or conventional low-down-payment options.Also, networking is huge.

You don't want to get stuck with negative cash-flow because you can't find another care facility tenant to rent it.Also, probably want to check with your insurance provider and see if all those tenants who are likely to fall and break a hip are going to be an issue for them, and look into the legality of what happens in the care facility owner dies and you're stuck with 5-8 tenants in the home with no one to care for them and no living descendants.

It’s a great way to get your feet wet in real estate while building equity.
