One of my Real Estate instructors (who has achieved a certain measure of success), once said that the trick to buying raw land was in determining which way the city was growing.

And then that first month's rent, last month's rent, plus the security deposit should do the trick.

I am new here and looking to see if there are tips and or tricks for how to attract equity placement out there.

I have over 60 books related to RE investing and most are weak.Many address tricks and systems.Before you start, a firm understanding of the basics isrequired to avoid problems.'

I'm wondering if anyone has any good insider advice, tricks, miracles that might assist me in this undertaking.

I'm also looking to learn any other methodologies, tips, tricks, and so forth that I can add to my toolkit.

I would go with hubspot - they have a really good system set in place and their reputation is good.Also just having good content at the right places should do the trick (AR can help you out with links etc)

Sounds like you have 30 units that could be rented which aren't at the moment.The numbers look good... the trick to you will be to understand why the numbers are good.

The trick is finding someone who is motivated to let go of a good buy and careful screening so that students aren't destroying your property with keg parties...
