The benefit of moving out first is that you're no longer considered under the "vacating a primary," definition because you're now "renting," and can use rental income offset and purchase a new property with FHA with out 100 mile restrictions.This new guideline reduces chances for borrowers to use FHA to acquire more quasi primary/investment properties since the original intent for FHA was home ownership not investment property promotion.

I would suggest that he work with an investor(s) to: coordinate open houses, put out bandit signs, promote mentor investors' properties on social media, go out and price rehab materials, help with flips, bird dog properties, just to name a few.  

There is a group out in the valley that seems to be an ok group but also brings in speakers to promote a mentor program.

Can you work a deal with the college to promote it to their students through their student advising offices? 

@Amy Ranae @Devan Mcclish...I have a few questions on direct mail, I don't do it currently, but hearing a lot of people promote the strategy, what is your typical investment in one single campaign?  

So far, I've noticed two different companies (one provider and one promoter) who have quoted (on a podcast or website) return projections that really don't consider these.

Their goal is to sell you investments they promote (mutual funds, stocks, etc. that is how they make money).You need to work with a company specializing specifically with self-directed accounts.

But three things prevent anyone from really promoting these things:1) Investors balk when they learn that in the real world without government subsidies, 'limited liability' for the investor means limited recourse for the lender.

As used in this chapter: (A) "Real estate broker" includes any person, partnership, association, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, or corporation, foreign or domestic, who for another, whether pursuant to a power of attorney or otherwise, and who for a fee, commission, or other valuable consideration, or with the intention, or in the expectation, or upon the promise of receiving or collecting a fee, commission, or other valuable consideration does any of the following: (1) Sells, exchanges, purchases, rents, or leases, or negotiates the sale, exchange, purchase, rental, or leasing of any real estate; (2) Offers, attempts, or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, purchase, rental, or leasing of any real estate; (3) Lists, or offers, attempts, or agrees to list, or auctions, or offers, attempts, or agrees to auction, any real estate; (4) Buys or offers to buy, sells or offers to sell, or otherwise deals in options on real estate; (5) Operates, manages, or rents, or offers or attempts to operate, manage, or rent, other than as custodian, caretaker, or janitor, any building or portions of buildings to the public as tenants; (6) Advertises or holds self out as engaged in the business of selling, exchanging, purchasing, renting, or leasing real estate; (7) Directs or assists in the procuring of prospects or the negotiation of any transaction, other than mortgage financing, which does or is calculated to result in the sale, exchange, leasing, or renting of any real estate; (8) Is engaged in the business of charging an advance fee or contracting for collection of a fee in connection with any contract whereby the broker undertakes primarily to promote the sale, exchange, purchase, rental, or leasing of real estate through its listing in a publication issued primarily for such purpose, or for referral of information concerning such real estate to brokers, or both, except that this division does not apply to a publisher of listings or compilations of sales of real estate by their owners;

We've been trying to form a collective of green-minded apartment owners and tenants to really promote this concept.
