Apply (or try to apply) for jobs at commercial real estate companies (while you continue to go to school).   

But, the cards are what they are and you just have to play your hand the best that you can.Good luck, Martin.

We originally signed a 2 year lease and when that was up, the owners let us continue at the same rate on a month-to-month basis.

Hi, I inherited a 1 family home, where I had been living for more than 10 years, I did not pay rent prior to inheriting, continued to live in after inheriting, no interruption.Got the deed 1.5 years ago after probate procedures , but inherited it 3years ago as a matter of state law the title of the property passes on to the heir upon the descendent’s death.For the last two years it has been owner occupied rental 50% of the property several rooms, it is a small mansion.

I literally don't want to spend time/money on property (since it is NNN) and continue to focus on current job.- If for any reason, my visa doesn't get approved or have to go back to home country (india), will it be too difficult to sell the property being commercial?

Once you have decided which path to take, I recommend "Seek to serve" or "Pay to play", if you are committed to accelerating your growth.

Often times, families use this wealth to allow their children to seek better opportunities internationally in places like Canada.I've attached a link below to an article outlining the University of Windsor's plan to attract even more students from India; keep in mind, they are already a huge part of our university population.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/uwindsor-fi...I think we will slowly see rents rise in core university rental areas as demand continues to outstrip supply

This is your chance to show your GC's some love and send them some extra business for the fall/winter months (and also help out a newbie in the process), so I'd really appreciate whatever help you guys can provide.As always, thank you BP for your continued help with my budding REI adventure!

Trying to find deals in Chicago is extremely tough and although I am a new investor I've realized that if you want an actual "deal" where the numbers work, especially for a buy and hold play, one has to be creative and look to unconventional methods to source deals.

For a first property and trying to play it fairly conservative I think we've got a good deal here.
