Apart from the challenges of owning rentals that are primarily occupied by students, and the relatively high property values in these areas, I was struck by another concern:There is a school of thought gaining traction that Higher Education is currently experiencing a huge bubble, and might actually be cresting, if not very close to it.

I drawn up a site plan , looks like the 10k sqft building will fit, the land is flat and almost rectangle, with set back and required landscape, I still have 52+ parking.I plan to build and hold on it, as a steady income for retirement,  maybe use one or two unit by myself, as my wife always want to try a coffee/ice-cream/yogurt  shop. 

Let it be icing on the cake.

Buy for cashflow the appreciation is just icing on the cake.

I played ice and roller hockey at the Sportsplex across from Colossus and at another rink off 200 in the mid 90s when it was nothing but grassland.  

Last month we struck out, allot of wasted time, energy and a little money(time, preliminary title searches, gas driving the properties).

If they appreciate, well that will be the "icing on the cake", an added plus.

Thank you Ian, the podcast's are actually how I found out about BP, I feel like I just struck gold, lol!

I have struck up a relationship with him so I am getting some coaching.

This struck me as odd, but I am not familiar with Georgia rules.
