A lot of student rentals even here in an extremely tight market are offering concessions like free month (or $250 off), free wi-fi, free tv or whatever at this late stage in the season.Advertise in the school common area, near mailboxes or whatever in addition to the standard ways.This certainly doesn't happen to everyone so I hope it hasn't discouraged you from investing @Jem Jacala!

I would like to take equity out and use it to invest in additional property.

Essentially, my seller is willing to do some owner financing in addition to the FHA loan.

There has been additional schools and plants built here, we have 4 seasons, and for the most part our weather is not extreme.

@Anthony Ciulla What you describe (further developing a property with additional units if zoned correctly) is very doable - that's mostly what we've been doing in SD for the past 5 years.Be very careful, though - the costs associated with doing it are far, far greater than most people expect.  

Obviously very new to all of this so I know it may take me a bit to figure out what I really like, but initially I know I want to get into buy and hold, and I would love to do that with more of vacation rental style vs the traditional buy and hold.

I am planning to buy and hold for 10 years and sell it for my child education and my retirement.Or if I hav the finance increase the value by building a mini commercial complex like McDonald,postal service,petrol station,etc,The location is a issue now.Either I should buy in urban or rural area.If you need any other additional info please let me know.Tonnes of appreciation

I have patlive screening my calls, and every caller that didn't just tell me to go F myself, I called back and made a verbal offer to based on the numbers I was told to use here at BP in addition to some of my own assumptions.I make cash offers by a CMA to get ARV.  

I would love to buy it in just one of our names, freeing up the other name for an additional house down the road. 

I'm looking at a foreclosed duplex listed via Auction.com and it's showing two outstanding liens in addition to 4 mortgages in its history.
