@Aviv Berkovitch I personally haven’t invested in any property in Raleigh but I drive around delivering food quite a bit and I’ve noticed the Briar Creek area growing rapidly.

I’m not rich, but I have enough to do about 3 or 4 solid loans at at time.

started in Baltimore over 40 years ago, have a large portfolio of houses and commercial, bars, pizza place and  FOOD Market.at 78 years old now, all I want is to get in and get out with cash or equity, I do not buy anymore I only auction and do assignments, did just under $8mm in past two years.I like fast turn over real estate.

I began reading "I will teach you to be rich" by Ramit Sethi.

I fell in love with bigger pockets through their podcast when covid as I now spend my entire work day delivering food instead of slinging drinks. 

It would seem to me that as college tuition has a built in inflation factor, student housing (provided that quality is kept up) might be able to enjoy a portion of that inflation factor.Perhaps offering cleaning services, food preparation, partnering with local car sharing... anything to add value to the renters..?

We have seen tenants claim that when the Refridgerator went out they had lobster or other really expensive food.

And also, rats are easy to deal with: they live where they like it - take away the habitat and their food source, they will leave. 

Unless you have a lot of money saved up or a rich uncle dying to go into business with you, you will have to borrow a LOT of money.Also, self-storage is commercial real estate. 

Why would the rich invest here instead of OOS?
