@Patrick Jacques .Buy right, fix right, rent right,..make money in any market...In my metro area there are many schools and parents seek out those that meet their needs...One family rents my affordable home in order to pay college expenses for son..Both professionals, but gave up higher end rental home when he graduated high school.....Keep an open mind..

This really pumps up the Internal Rate of Return to 26.5% using the more conservative $1,400 per month rent (most likely I will rent for $1,450).I could have purchased a property for $61,500 with the same square footage in Birmingham, AL with an IRR of a little less at 24% that would have cost me about $3,000 more to close on.

My PM received many inquiries this April and into May.We do have a Medical college in Erie but there is no real special circumstances other than winter and school year that effects peoples desire to move or not.

I would have said never 20 years ago but today I strongly believe the way real estate is now being handled by these big international banks American soil is going to be sold off and we will become even a much more different nation than we already are.

If the populations you are working from need be trimmed down then you would apply filters based on your own internal criteria from whatever data points (those given or those revealed as a function of diligence) you have.

I'm Stephen Dickey, a 25 year old recent college graduate who is from Rock Hill, SC!

How many borderline intellectually disabled people do you know who at 12 years old was doing college level trig and calculus?

Despite a previous post in which I was encouraged to avoid renting to an out of state tenant, I have one potential tenant who is seeking a two year lease and works for international contractor that moves him from location to location on basically 2 year periods.

You can also see if you can intern at a local Real Estate office doing some clerical and other administrative stuff.

You May have been to a Guru seminar if..........You believe brokers will continually submit deals to you although you have no capitalYou believe lenders look at the property ONLY when considering whether to lend you money, so that your multiple bankruptcies, credit score of 490, and $80,000 in credit card debt won't matterYou think that commercial real estate sellers will accept post dated checks for $100 as sufficent earnest money.You believe no seller is sharp enough to see through the numerous “weasel” clauses you put into your purchase contractsYou are persuaded that the only difference between a $1000 transaction and a $1,000,000 transaction are the amount of 0'sYou believe everyone who critsizes your plan is jealeous and wants to see you failYou believe that 20 years of hands on experience, a four year college degree in real estate and yearly mandatory education seminars can be trumped by the “intense training” 3 day seminar you just paid $7000 for.You believe that the $7000 you just borrowed on your newly increased credit line to pay for that seminar is an “investment”You can't believe people actually wasted $80,000 and four years of their life learning “useless” information in collegeYou believe assembling your real estate “team” is your key to success and a necessary first stepYou believe you can actually contract with the best “players” in the industry although you have no experience, capital, or track recordYou believe that once you find the deal that fits the formula money will come to youYou believe that your Guru has provided you with exclusive information on how to find “bargain” dealsYou believe one in a life time “steals” are an everyday occuranceYou believe you can be successful working “the system” on just weekends and holidaysYou believe the Guru got rich by actually doing real estate deals rather than by using a slick promotional sales and training systemYou believe the personnel provided to assist you are actually real estate investors who actually have experience and knowledge and aren't just some failed salesman reading from a scriptYou believe you're the first person to think of using BiggerPockets as your source of wholesale leads or to build a buyer listYou believe wholesaling is investingYou think the term is “whole selling” not wholesaling.
