I bet you heard but the market around those areas are booming right now, especially since it is a buyers market, it gives you an advantage to get better deals from sellers while people are continously moving there, especially for jobs like tech, logistics, etc. 

People like to rent from a person not a 'brand', it's more personal.

There's no reason to provide details, though I do let people know if anyone asks that we do not accept bulk up-front rent payments or anything like that because I absolutely do not want a prospective tenant to think that someone else swooped in with a bunch of cash last minute.

People going to the university for whatever reason? 

Give them a couple of options, they already know the unit got foreclosed, most people move to avoid the hassle. 

I am in talks with a couple people now.

However, he has 2 people interested right now.

Thank you everyone.WIiling to share more details if people are interested! 

I would also be a hard no; I don't subsidize other people's investments.

I just need to be pointed in the right direction because I get deals in my inbox from people I communicate with all over the country.
