I am a 21 year old graduating from Syracuse University this spring, and will be working in real estate development on the career side of things.

It is a long ways from the 1% rule, but my pro forma show positive cash flow in my market (similar to yr market) pretty universally at 0.75% and on many properties at 0.7%.  

If I was looking to purchase one right now, I'd stay near several universities so you'll have a bigger pool of students and stay in Republican areas, if you get near a university that shuts down everytime some one sneezes you could troubles.. 

Im also concerned about VRBO rentals with covid or other potential pandemics (Bill Gates Believes there will be another global pandemic within the next several years) and how that would affect my rents.

Current assets are 110k between my three retirement accounts (401k, 457b, and roth ira) and a rental condo in University City that's worth $330,000 that I owe $186,000 on.

I have my team enrolled in the following training programs:1) Cardone University (20 minutes a day)2) Acquisitions workshop with Biggerpockets own Sterling White- (1 hour a week we go through cold calling techniques with the VA by which improves their cold calling and handling objections through 13 weeks.3) We also have weekly staff meetings where we go over hurdles that they might have encountered during the week with potential sellers.

I had just moved to town to take a new position of Western Carolina University.

Hello,I'm currently a 3rd-year University student who would like to jump into real estate a bit early.

Now, there are two universities nearby but this wave of COVID had a big impact on the market, classes are all online and people would rather not share common areas which is the case in my property.

I did it for many years during my university days & then as a necessity as I accumulated seller financed properties during my early W-2 Job days.
