I am a student in university, fairly new to REI and busy learning about my local market where I plan to invest.I am in the process of saving for loan down payment since I aim to first acquire a rental or more ideally do a house-hack when I am able to qualify for a loan (I have not researched private lending yet - any tips would be welcomed for financing options).I have a semester break coming up in which I hope to go out and get a feel for the Cape Town market - open to anything.

I recently helped a flipper to buy a home in a very upscale town. 

Your last question should be: "Given what we've discussed today, who else in town should I be talking to and would it be OK if I let them know you referred them?"

Can I call the town and have them kicked out for that?

It all depends on the specific numbers, age of the condo, the specific city/town.

Its my first potential commercial renter.need some averages or source for averages.1st floor, 2 office space, with half bath, kitchenette, on main st small town, with heat, water, electric included.modern 850 sqft office with 1000 sqft dry basement. parking, plowing, etc included. local realtor said all utilities incld avg on busiest road is $13-14 sqft.how accurate is website reonomy?  

We are located in Austin TX which is pretty close to San Marcos TX (both college towns) so it's common to have someone sign a lease guarantee form which makes them liable to pay the rent if the tenant can't for any reason.

It is in a very small town (about a block long) and sits directly on a major thoroughfare through the area.

I researched options for a deal I was trying to secure and my understanding is that all maintenance would be on you but for only 20 years at only 4.3%, that certainly seems like it's worth exploring. 

We are also attending our first BP meetup tonight in our town!
