There is so much to learn, but I agree that the most valuable lessons will come from putting a plan into production.

College markets are great and with a good rental product can always be filled.

So it tough to nogotiate when they walk or improve product quality when there is no problem.   

Hey @Adam Bartomeo,Not unlike many who have posted in this forum, I agree that the low barrier to entry is the underlying cause for poor performance.

Thankfully it's not a huge tax hit (we only bought in 2011) and I am too 'poor' to get hit with the medicare tax thing on L/t cap gains.

Doing it my self costs apx $500... an attorney probably charge 1500-2000.The goal is to be poor on paper but control alot!

The website targets people searching for reviews and best products of a certain niche.

I find investors running into problems because their JV partnership was poorly structure and, all of the sudden, there are no provisions as to how to cover the need for extra capital to complete the project.

A naturally by-product of that business is working in the rental market often and consistently.

Don't be in such a hurry that you buy poor deals.
