Campus housing has been under tremendous headwinds for the last 4 years.These properties were sold with extremely aggressively optimistic projections, as well as a price that represented a significant premium to fair market value.So sorry to hear about your investment.

Currently I'm trying hubspot integrated with dealmachine but it doesn't click with Open Letter Marketing who recommend Invelo instead.

We paid off our primary home last year and have been slowly getting the courage to jump into the investing market where we live in the Pacific Northwest.

Very solid market, been investing there over 10 yrs and the rents continue to climb! 

But my suggestion for future listings.Look at days on market in the area that you are going to list.

Would this be the ideal market, or are there other rental options we should explore? 

For funding, explore options like FHA loans, personal savings, or creative financing, and focus on New Jersey markets that align with your goals, such as Newark for rentals or commuter towns for house hacking.

The good ones will have access to off-market deals. 

Nothing is foolproof of course, but having another investor in your market make a suggestion at least gets us on the right foot. 

"Flipping" or "Rehabbing" this property would really consist of raising the rents to current market levels (about 40% increase).
