For us, it requires great online tools, but you can never remove the human factor - someone who is diligent enough do the continual reporting and someone who knows exactly what they are looking at from the construction perspective.

Tenants aren't inferior human beings, they are on the inferior side of the business relationship.

Humans are always naturally looking for social proof.

human nature is selfish, some of them may approach to you nice and friendly but can turn to evil later on.so good luck and be careful. 

The other, totally personal opinion, about making education more online/remote is the loss of human interaction; which the lockdown last year shows us is highly against how we were created and meant to live together as a human race.

Hey Roy,If it were me and I wanted to have both consistent cash flow (that beats what most investors get with rentals), and growth, and a timeline of about 5 years, I'd invest in a syndication.I work at a real estate investment advisory in Denver and we specialize in helping clients invest either in DSTs (1031-exchangeable syndications), or alts (cash syndications).Our offerings are underwritten by our managing broker-dealer and are only open to accredited investors, but here's an example of one:Cantor Fitzgerald may have a self storage facility in Vegas, let's say.

But there are some cases where we have dealers that send us properties first because it meets our criteria & because we have dealt with them for years.

@Charles BurgessJoin some groups like left field investors, review some broker dealer sites, search sec website for Edgar to search who has filed form D’S or regulation a offerings

They will have to cut costs somewhere and paring down the overhead cost of buildings, maintenance, utilities, etc. of large campuses will be paramount.I believe traditional "college" will remain an option for high-end schools and tech/medical schools where in person labs and whatnot are important, but any social science, humanities, even engineering will move online for the vast majority of students or maybe for 2-3 out of 4 years and a 4th year in person for capstone, dissertation, etc.
