I'm primarily in smaller multi-family properties and haven't had any real interest in the student market.The prices are very attractive.

If there are you might not attract quality tenants as you cannot control how other landlords operate around you which is why I want full control of a development.

I am hoping this will attract families which would like to stay and rent for longer term.

I have accumulated over half a million through stock securities.

You have to be an accredited investor which means (1) a net worth or joint net worth with the person’s spouse exceeding $1 million, not including the value of the primary residence, and / or (2) an annual income of at least $200,000 in each of the two most recent years (or a joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years), along with a reasonable expectation of the same minimum level of income in the current year.If you are able to invest in Realty Shares, then the answer is yes, if it meets your investment goals.

The obvious is list it with a Realtor, but are there any different approaches that seem to be working.Though about just putting it on the MLS myself, I think you can pay a fee, and have it listed there without going through a Realtor.My goal is price it attractively a little below market, and try and get a quick sale. 

Other stuff I do not focus on.I know of a great strip center off market for 6 million and I am direct to the owner.Cap rate is around the 6's which is common for California.
