Grab the current rental rates you can find in the area and plug the info into your spreadsheet to analyze (I assume you have a spreadsheet to use, if not search the site, there are a bunch to use that are offered by other members for free).

@Noah Scott The best meetups are on job sites.

.- Start your own lists A:  'I wouldn't buy here with monopoly money' B:  'If something comes on the MLS in this neighborhood I would offer site unseen!

I like to go one step further when I mail to an LLC & go to the state corporation site and look up the owner's name and address and mail directly to them so that it's more personal.my rule of thumb when mailing to anyone not titled personally is to limit the mail to those properties that I have a real interest in and not a blanket mailer.

This is something that I have grown increasingly aware of and believe in; that there will always be unknowns for your first deal, there will always be reasons why you "shouldn't yet", and I just feel as though I've almost gotten myself to a tipping point of just pulling the trigger (obviously once I've run the numbers and believe I've found a good deal).

Hello @Nick Beeler, welcome to the site!

The building has 4 students in each unit, 2 per room.I've seen numerous times on this site that many investors want to see $100 per unit per month for their investments.

But we are looking for a bigger vision than "jobs" and so to come to an entrepreneurial site like this seems wise.Grateful for any guidance you might be able to give.
