Hi BP family,I am looking into Indianapolis and am wondering if anyone has experience owning properties whose target tenants are Indiana Wesleyan University students?

A few years ago I started working on a degree called a 'Masters of Real Estate Development for Architects' (MRED) at Woodbury University in San Diego after getting jaded in a traditional Masters of Architecture program and applying to the MRED program on a whim.

You could always utilize a bunch of BiggerPockets resources and network with other real estate investors locally/virtually for much less.

They are virtually non existent in SF, and usually not a problem in the Bay Area in general.

I Graduated from Texas State University and also recently completed my MBA with a finance concentration at Southern Methodist University in December 2013. 

I was wondering about the University of Southern California, Los Angeles area.  

Also, it is universally known that in real estate, the deals come from individual situations - not necessarily  from the direction of the market - you can make money in a buyers market or a sellers market -  if can find the right deal, then it doesn't make a difference what the market is doing - you've got to figure that in every transaction - SOMEONE is making some money - the key is to put yourself in a position where it is YOU who is making the money. 

Rules of thumb in one local may not apply in another.In addition to the universal KISS rule, the other universal rule I can think of is:Your network is your net worth.
