I guess this is a good choice for seasoned investors who are looking for residual income to help them break-even with other investments (I guess).

You will have very few choices and finding good deals in a college town is tough.Start making as many "no look" offers as possible.

Similar time wasters - business plans, marketing plans, website plans, mission statements, business names, entity choice, etc. etc.

would be a wise choice.

Plus most companies don't offer aggressive enough choices to invest in.

If you are a pure cash flow with appreciation as an awesome bonus guy the local market is not the best choice.

You choices range from free to expensive.

@Dawn Anastasi with those numbers and quality of houses you will see Milwaukee Turn Key company coming on line soon.It sounds like its a sleeper in the Rental sell to out of state investor business.Turn Key companies could make very nice margins with what your describing nice homes not in Hoods that have those rental metrics.give it 90 days one of the folks here will start up there I suspect.I have many fond memories of Milwaukee, I spent many summers there as a kid. my grandparents lived in Wauwatosa ( probably not spelling it right) and Pewaukee lake...

Marlboro's a diverse area, good choice but what about Fitchburg, Mass?

For low equity deals you got three choicesSubject to and a wraparound mortgage are choice one and two: Numbers have to work when comparing all cost to market rent and potential resaleChoice three has to do some kind of lease option whether it be a sandwich or an assignmentI never ever get involved with sub to or wraps unless the property is in perfect condition, in a perfect location, and a perfectly lay out for resaleIf it's a lease option assignment, I am less picky about condition, with the location better be perfect and the layout that would be perfect.
