@Stephen Smith, getting started with education is always a good idea.

We are very active in the DFW area in apt syndications if you want to start there folks can give you some ideas.  

Rent in my area is usually around a $1/ per sq/ft.The idea of very low maintenance and a home warranty is appealing to me.

You will probably get people saying that's a bad idea but I've read of cases where it worked out.But definitely see what you would get approved for and go from there .

I think student housing is a great idea.

Put that idea in your rear view mirror.

Awesome response & lead gen ideas.

In my current situation I only have the ability to do one deal per year so I'm exploring the idea of using a HML to buy properties quickly and at a deeper discount.

In talking to potential leasees/buyers they LOVE the idea of some rent going to purchase price and HATE the idea of some going towards seller concessions I simply want to give my customers what they want and not trigger Dodd frank if possible I have a few pieces of land I am moving used doublewides ontoThinking Of Selling with owner finance the mobile home titles as automobiles are to not trigger Dodd frank complications.

So I have a pretty good idea on repair and renovation costs, but they are NOT perfect by any means.
