Student became the master huh!

I would definitely do the studio apartment so it could be a student rental,  extended family suite or an art studio/man cave.

@Derrick Atkinson,  I would not rack up student loan debt to learn any of the trades.Those things you can learn on your own by doing them on your own rehab, helping someone else rehab, ect.

Hello BP Community,Like it says in the subject line I am 22 year old college student attending Western Michigan University, studying Sales and Business Marketing, and I will be moving to Denver this July after I graduate college.My interest in Real Estate was generated almost by accident when I attended a conference in which Grant Cardone was the keynote speaker.

PeriodThere will be little to no positive cash flow The only reason to invest is to make money.Close to Ohio State University Tenants are college students.

I've dealt with students before, and that's not too bad if you can persuade them to hand over the rent when they get their student loan cheque, but I've not dealt with housing benefit.I know there's a cap on how much housing benefit will be paid depending on the size of the property / size of the family living there, but the cap is actually decently high compared to the average cost of rent in this area.So I was wondering why landlords in general don't like to deal with housing benefit tenants - surely they're better than normal tenants, since the government tend to be more reliable payers?

:cry: Finally get a client who wants to fill out a contract/offer for a house, made sure I called realtor to see if she had accepted any, 10 am, the answer was no....turned in my offer by 12:15 with check ....found out next day she had received 3 other offers...the highest being 23,000 over asking price......I'm going nuts....I am in very hot market and dont know what to do.....any suggestions?
