I just graduated from the University of South Carolina in May and I started my first big kid job a month and a half ago.

My aunt is a realtor there and directed us away from certain neighborhoods and was very happy to find us a small house in between the University and the Hospital.

In the podcast Jered Sturm, Brandon Turner, and Dave Meyer talk about different value add strategies like doing a rub (sub metering water), increasing energy efficiency with light bulbs, and renting out washers and dryers to the tenants.While I was going to Southern Utah University to get my Bachelor's in Engineering and Technology I stayed in several different apartments and got to see both the good and the bad of many apartments.

@Uneeq KhanThere are so many property management companies and while most will operate the same way, there is no universal method that all property managers must act upon.You should read the contract agreement with the property management company to know for certain.With that said - I believe this is the way most management companies operate.You will normally be required to have an escrow account with the property management company that the property management company can use to cover any repairs.The rent gets paid directly to the tenant.

I graduated high school (2004) in the top 5% of almost 900 kids with nearly two years of college credits and a full ride scholarship to University of Florida.

the only way i got through the GFC on a personal level is with no debt.. and my home was darn near paid for.. all my buddies with max debt on all sorts of real estate maxed out credit on their homes their cars etc etc.. virtually everyone had to reorg.. so there is a happy medium

Two blocks away from Marshall University's football stadium and downtown campus.
