Here in Columbus there are still deals to be had, Ive picked up an additional 10 units just this year.

@Forrest Hayashi I agree with @Alex Uman, most student have their housing picked out at least a semester in advance if not a year depending on the house.

There, you can meet syndicators, potential partners, investors, mentors, and just pick the brains of more experienced investors who have been in your shoes.

Once you've found someone you let them pick out the home they want to buy and have them sign the lease and option to buy agreements then collect the non-refundable option fee.

Question of the day: What market(s) are you investing in, and what were your deciding factors on picking it(them)?

Need some tech help.I do a number of deals with partners and often share my rental analysis proformas with friends, partners, ect.One thing that is driving me crazy, when outputting your rental calculator inputs into a PDF, the program picks and chooses which outputs it automatically switches to all lowercase.For abbreviations this is really frustrating, and it causes my outputs to look less professional and not well put together.

It really comes down to picking a strategy and just going all in on it.

After transitioning I was picked up by various fortune 100 companies to build and maintain their data centers. 

Pick up J.

Ideally, you have a couple close relationships you can speak candidly to about your thoughts, and if those relationships are also people who would be interested in investing, you are able to pick their brain on deal structures they would invest in, and therefore kill two birds with one stone.
