I don't have much room to talk since I'm super new myself lol.

Assuming it's gonna be a small meet-up with < 10 people (I could be wrong tho), I guess a library study/reading room could be enough (need to book in advance).

I purchased a 5 BD/2 BA property in Baltimore last August and inherited two tenants who have been living in the property as a rooming house.

Last week I attendedthe Serviced Apartment Summit in New York and both STR / Smith Travel Research and All the Rooms presented their findings on higher end extended stay lodging options. 

All the Rooms and Airdna offer rate data and trends and for longer stays there are a number of different corporate housing reports.

An investor partner and I are looking at a package deal just outside the Grand Rapids, MI area.

ARV about $180-195k My optimal strategy would be to rent it out to students $400 a room.

I would rather spend the relatively insignificant (in the grand scheme of things) money on the attorney to tell me I'm good to go, than have things go south a few years in and have regulatory authorities on your case.

Many loans with Fannie Mae are interest only for 2 years and then you start paying principal and this gives you some breathing room during the value-add process.
