Had a succesful investment with College friend 10 years ago and now we are cashing out and going our separate ways. 

Hello Everyone, I am working on getting my real estate license to represent myself, my family, and friends when buying our homes. 

Hey @Alex Jacobs, I'd start by finding a solid investor friendly agent in your local area; definitely meet with a few of them, but ideally you will find someone who has a decent network that can connect you with resources such as a solid lender.

Looking to meet individuals generally and build my network, but would also love any advice on this area, contractors, realtors, lawyers, and any other general guidance with just starting in.

In a residential district, up to 6 unrelated individuals may live in a house as a family.

It is way too tenant friendly.

I am interested in purchasing a 3-4 BR home in Loma Linda (close to the University and hospital) and renting out the individual rooms to students and professionals of LLU.I know currently the market is not great but I was wondering:- How is the demand for housing among students / professionals?

A friend was an investor who put me onto the idea.

It was made easier thanks to the help of my co-investors (friends).

Their software does NOT look at your individual house but they price it by the subdivision/street and adjust for various items, like square footage, permitted improvements ect.
