My guess is this deal required some massive action!

As someone that now does the coaching, as well as hires a business coach, I see the massive benefit that is provided.

There’s been a massive increase in apartments marketed directly to students.

You may find someone dying to get out from under their home ( opportunity)3 take massive action.

This week I got the sub floor in 190-2 which makes a massive difference!

Let’s break down those benefits individually:1) Tax Benefits (Depreciation and write off of real estate taxes and interest paid on mortgage loans)2) Appreciation (Not guaranteed, but has been the norm 95% of the time according to historical data)3) Positive Cash Flow (This is the difference between the monthly expenses and the total rental income)4) Equity Build up (Tenants pay rent, you then make your mortgage payment lowering the remaining balance each time)5) Equity Capture (Buying the real estate at a bargain price, capturing for yourself the seller’s forfeited equity)When you harness all of these forces compounding to your benefit on a regular basis, you begin to understand how massive wealth accumulates over time.

I’d rather lose a little rent money upfront than the massive issues that will happen down the road. 

I think the biggest piece of advice is don't expect massive cash flow early on. 

Buffet says that's the best time to buy :)Over the course of time, multiple opportunities may present such as converting SFR to duplex (see the slew of bills that are being debated).I looked at SJ but ended up going Easy Bay (94551) due to affordability.Good luck & would love to keep in touch.

(Take massive action and network.
