BACKGROUNDFor the last couple years, we've had one single private lender that we've partnered on rehab projects with.But after reading and watching Alan Cowgill's material, we decided to host a luncheon, so that we can take on more projects.After speaking with our Accountant, attorney, and speaking to the SEC, we purchased a mailing list of local Accredited Investors, and sent over 1000 of them very nice, professionally-done invitations to our luncheon.We even hired a company to man a toll free line so that we could accept RSVP's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.The luncheon was held at a very expensive, 5-star hotel in our area.THE PROBLEMOnly one attendee showed up.We're thinking about giving it another try.

This one is right on Downtown, very close to school and university, in fact, the shuttle bus stop in right at the front of the building.

I think some of the Universities have purchased the properties and are holding on.

Based on your commentary (price, college, single family, apartments, etc) I'd imagine the property is in University Heights.

It a 3/2 1300sq ft and is located less than a mile from a Pacfic Lutheran University and also near JBLM military base.

Realtyshares is accredited investors only??!

What college/university area do you invest in?

I am a graduate admissions counselor for a major NYC university.

I started young, at 22 with my first student rental property in Waterloo (a university town about 1 hour outside of Toronto).

It is advisable to do your due diligence and ask about such things as how long have they been in business, are alternative assets their sole focus, are they BBB accredited and rated, are they a regulated financial institution, have they ever been sanctioned by any regulatory bodies, how many accounts and how much in assets do they administer?
