Investment money come after that.Real estate investing is a very rewarding journey and you have to go through its different phases.

Of course I’m not looking to get rich on this deal, I know small risk is small reward but I think it would be a great stepping stone and I want to take on a small rehab property as a learning experience to gain confidence for bigger deals that need more work. 

To get rents up, it needs numerous projects completed. 

The numerous regulations Bloomsburg has on landlords and the complete reliability on student housing to uphold the market.

It has been exhausting, stressful, rewarding, and a great diet strategy (down 5 lbs. in 5 days!).

There are numerous benefits to this other then the obviously huge financial benefits as an agents commission on average of 5% is not needed to be paid by the seller. 

Too much studying and not enough action might trick your brain into feeling rewarded without actually getting the deal, and you will certainly find it harder to act the longer you sit on the sidelines.Nothing taught me more than my first purchase.

The interest rates of many residential Fannie and Freddie loans (ARM's) as well as numerous types of commercial loans are based off LIBOR plus a spread.  

In my experience, if you're willing to actively manage the property in conjunction with third-party help, the rewards will outweigh the risks.

Riskier than a whole house rental, but as always greater risk=greater reward.
