What approach worked best for you?

:@Victor S.Hey, even the sleaziest-looking dudes know how to make themselves more approachable. 

What’s intriguing is that he’s doing this entirely with investor money, not using any of his own funds.I’m curious to learn more about this approach.

How would you make it grow the quickest?

As an agent who has worked almost exclusively with investors for years, I almost automatically take the approach of saying “no” first.

A lot of universities have students that need mid term housing due to graduation dates, mini semester programs, etc. and I've found if you approach them and offer them a solution to this problem, they are willing to work with you and help send business your way. 

Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

If one has high living expenses, cash flow doesn't mean much and I definitely understand going for appreciation first.i agree with the outside market approach.

It sounds like the best approach is to always check multiple places for rates?

Quote from @Michael Florkowski: I really like this approach.
