Hope some of my rapidly expanding post helps!

Maybe there is a university down the road that has a housing need and is rapidly expanding.

I still like Indianapolis and Kansas City for cash flow but for new, secondary markets, I'm going to go against the tide on this and say Grand Rapids, MI.

Positive cashflow creates a large snowball effect, because your interest cost and balance rapidly decrease every month in unison.

East Allegheny / Spring Garden - with whats happening in the strip and the proximity to the strip I see values rapidly rising.

It is a rapidly growing part of town with lots of students and grad students always looking to rent.

On account of the rapid increase in rent rates, this is therefore forcing some renters to move into markets further outside the perimeter such as McDonough, Fairburn, and Villa Rica.

Location is prime, located near major retail outlets, hospital, and rapidly expanding residential developments.

I've spent the past year doing a lot of research, but I am currently interested in knowing how to get started in forming and managing a REIT as I hope to start my own REIT and invest in off campus student rentals.I've grown up and been around Atlanta my whole life, and I know the Emory area very well, and I would like to utilize the opportunity of Emory's rapidly expanding student population, my extensive network of students looking for off campus housing, and my knowledge and experience of the area. 

The Baltimore Area is developing rapidly and I'm excited to be a part of this rapid movement.I look forward to connecting with you!
