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

We don't have them recorded, just signed as another layer of protection. 

Never signed up for his program, but you don't really need his software to do section 8.

It's difficult to see how a tenant will be after screened and signing a lease.

I've obsessively been listening to every podcast episode I can, reading all the books, and signing up for any and every workshop and educational seminar.

Before you sign anything, definitley pin down the timeline for permitting and building.

And, they all sign the lease. 

This is correct, so I would disclose every aspect of the sub to and how it relates to the seller, perhaps going so far as to insisting the seller sign off on an acknowledgment that he understands the ramifications.  

Thankfully, we are already getting inquires and website hits and we have only just broken ground on and put a single sign on one lot. 

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.
