What solutions or things you have learned in student housing to investing you wish you knew?

I've had the privilege to start over several times in my life and have had much downtime yo reflect on both the problem and the solution.

Tax solutions and business structures are not a one-size-fits-all, cookie cutter approach.  

I am especially interested in the "one lease" solution.

It wouldn't be long term, but would have to be sustained through the first 2-3 projects, I believe, and hopefully by then I will have found a project manager that can manage for me when I am not here.

Installing a ventilation fan is still the better solution but vent it through the side wall or the roof. not the soffit. 4.Glass blocks are good and permanent solution but can be expensive.

Just as Mike and Chris mentioned, remember the opt-in is just one step in the "funnel".Something to keep in mind, is this, if someone should opt-in, give them something of value in exchange - and most people that are on the internet are looking for information or a solution to a problem.

Hello @Robert Fiacco,Instead of a specific property type, I believe investment properties should be selected based on the following criteria:• Sustained profitability - The property must generate a positive cash flow today and into the foreseeable future.• Likely to appreciate over time - While you should not buy a property only for future appreciation, appreciation is very desirable.

You really cant count on appreciation in these small towns but I have started buying in areas that have a long track record of sustaining property values. 

I recently founded two entities: wwwurbanbamboo.co to invest and develop real estate and a non-profit www.porchlightlabs.org to organize ideas and action for sustainable urban development.
