I am 20 years old and trying to learn as much as i can about real estate so that when i graduate college and have a steady income Ill be able to make smart investments hopefully leading to financial freedom.

I travel for REI, businesses, my own business, and other interests related to work on average 2 days a month.I drop off my kids to school and then later pick them up with my wife after going to the gym every weekday during the school year together.

I liked the tenant, school is starting back etc, I told them they could pay first month and security deposit and I would let them have the rest of August for free.

My wife and I own a single-family home in a top school district.

It’s growing fast, has good schools, and offers affordable homes compared to Houston.

As it relates to lease end dates I've seen two things work here. 1) You can stagger end dates as mentioned above or 2) you can optimize for summer - this works better for us in areas where you see students or families with school age children moving to align with the summmer months.Separately, this is a great argument against month-to-month leases.  

Not to mention the economic development steps the town is taking in ensuring the growth of town (roads, schools, zoning) stays on par with the future expected population growth and new jobs that are going to be a result of the new factories opening.  

Typically, higher income areas have lower crime, more amenities, better schools.  

And a lot of old school GCs may not have the ability to take a CC and may not care to learn how to...Main question is: why do you want to do this?

For some background info, I am 22 years old, and I graduated college in May 2024 with my bachelor's in construction management.
