Walmart, Kroger, Rite Aid to just name a few.

I am in school but TA covers tuition cost and i was going to use whatever student aid and loan came from the fafsa.

It's possible the tenant can apply for federal aid as their income has been affected by the hurricane.

The agent portion would simply be a means to aid me in my overall goals.

However with college rentals, I have multiple college campuses within 30 minutes of me, the closest within 5 minutes.

Pro's:- you know what you want, what to ask, where you want to buy,  and the average buyer agents who are not pro Airbnb specialists just do not know how or what to ask as good as you do, they can sometimes get in the way, I get it- you could potentially negotiate a reduction in sales price based upon the amount of the buyer agent commission, - the listing agent could work harder to put the transacation together because they are hogging the entire commission, - seller agents know the motivations of the sellers and you may be more successful uncovering motivation, or seller structuring it to work for both sides more effectively than buyer agent- the closest distance between two points is a straight line, we usually get better results dealing direct as experienced buyers, unless you have a superstar buyer agentCon's: - the listing agent commitment and fiduciary responsibility started with the seller, will they now all of sudden become truly nuetral as transaction broker?

Closest one is 2 hours away.  

@Andrew Johnson  I buy milliions of dollars in materials a year probably in the order of 10 million.. or more.. its such BS that these companies can save HUGE money doing it volume its all a pitch and the folks just don't know what they don't know they are drinking the cool aid.. :)  We get good pricing but you can't take a full 25 to 30k rehab and do it for 10k or 15k.. not possible. unless you simply don't do certain things..

I suggest giving the office closest to you a call and ask the loan officer if they do VA multifamilies, using projected rental income.  

You can either find the closest public parking, rent parking elsewhere, or simply not park a vehicle.
