I have also rehabbed in Brewerytown and University.

Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".

While demand has softened slightly this year, (due to cruising or overseas travel) the travel industry is confident that next year will be particularly strong due to the opening of Universal’s Epic Universe theme park and new Disney attractions.

I am only disagreeing with slamming a/any mentorship solely based on its price.Hell, I went to university (which is a mentorship) for 15 years.

DSCR products are not universally the same.

Near the university, the University Mall area is a smart pick with its consistent demand driven by university students and staff, boosted by redevelopment projects.

One of the things I am thinking about is the solvency of the University of Scranton. 

@Evelyn Allasi I understand your logic when considering the area, but the University created a lot of housing over the past decade that put pressure on people with houses that they had marketed to students.

Big things always happen when you are on vacation, that is a rule of the universe.Below is a picture of a water leak in one of my mobile home parks this last weekend. There was so much water that we had to use a pump ...

But for real estate development there are not gurus like that really (other than land flippers), but there are a few colleges that actually have pretty good real estate development programs, such as Cornell, University of Southern California, Arizona State University and others.
