One thing I would definitely recommend is getting the students' parents to co-sign on the lease.

I'm looking to purchase my first property with my fiancé (both 25) with the goal being to establish our primary residence together, as well as giving me the opportunity to add equity/value via rehab before moving on and converting the property into a rental within a year or so to kickstart an investment portfolio.An interesting lead that recently came up is my parent's neighbor's house.

You get PM experience, lower expenses, you don't live with your parents anymore, etc.. 

.: @Don Konipol Hi Don, At the point where I am in my business, I am thinking (a lot) about improving and growing my business and profits.

If you stayed with your parents for $0, then you have say, negative cash flow of $1,750. 

This targets family’s between homes, either because they just moved to the area; have a definitive time work contract; current house is being rebuilt/remodeled/repaired; students with “rich” parents; recent separated/divorced who needs space for children visits; Houston medical center stays; etc.  

Looking to connect with other working parents who started this business adventure in their early 40's and made it work!

Parents and sibling died in the home.

Our real estate goals are to purchase our first investment by end of 2025 (ideally small muti-family like a duplex), and scale to ~40 doors to reach our financial targets.EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE: My parents flipped every house I ever lived in growing up.

I've been in your situation and nothing can prepare you for losing a parent.
