Nathan,I don't mind offering answers but please make sure this is not an "Ego Battle" I am here to help and honestly I am an FDIC Banker - Not a realtor so I am the one who offers the financing.Regardless of 6 months - Yes you can use college from a major university or trade school!

Property is a C class area, so I am concerned about the quality of tenant I will get but I am close to Ohio State University, a hospital, and short north/downtown columbus so I am hoping as long as I screen tenants I can find some promising people.

I universally recommend they look at first-position fractional loans, which are legal here, but I know that no one listens.

My wife is against the idea of renting it out by room to the volleyball team in the local university through a coworker of hers that knows the coach.

Youtube university and BP podcasts has lots of golden nuggets.

You also have Epic Universe opening in 2025, which means we are sitting on a gold mine.

Seller finance deals work when one of the following situations is present1- property can’t be financed with institutional financing usually because property is vacant (commercial property) or in bad condition2- seller will only accept an above market price for the property and by offering seller financing opens the universe of potential buyers to include people who wouldn’t qualify for financing3- seller is able to obtain a “piece of the action” from a buyer rehabbing the property and hence ultimately obtain a higher price.4- the seller has an existing low interest rate mortgage and wants to “wrap” the existing mortgage into a seller financed higher rate mortgage and pocket the differential 5- property is an investment property, seller has a low basis in the property because of depreciation, and wants to spread out the taxes due.Are you thinking of trying to purchase with 100% seller financing, or are you able to /willing to offer a down payment of say 10-20% .  

Just sold a duplex at Baylor University and am interested in STR condo in Destin, Gulf Shores Coastal area (family goes every year) or Colorado, or Smokey Mountains seems to be a great place to invest now.   

It is fairly universally known that if you want to buy real estate, you go to the local MLS and/or Zillow.  

Hi @Marc Shin - A new Universal Studios is being built in Frisco TX (a suburb of Dallas) that I find interesting.
