A good house to get into for first time buyer or even someone who wants to rent to students.

i recommend to all my students, to locate their buyers first, before attempting to contract on any property.

:mrgreen: For full screening, may I ask students pay for the service?

--do the numbers and concentrate in certain price range homes --where you have enough profit margin and many hoems -- called farming -- then spend more money more effectively in that area -- Do not cut bandit signs in half- have a Website --with auto responder and landing page -- use google voice with answering --script --screen callers --get only motivated sellers -- direct mailing letters and post cards --hire students at $5 per hour to make phone calls - FSBOs -- and research Criags list -- place ad on Craig list, local Sundays paper - community papers and Penny Savers papers --You are buying a Business and Freedom with lot of income -- you pay like Franchise Fee for Subway or Mail Box etc --so $ 5000 or $ 10,000 is not too much --if you have time and willing to work full time 60 hours a week until you Flip two deals --then let other employee do all work -- I assume --you said you are only Marketing for Motivated Sellers --meaning you have lots of Cash to buy your self and do rehab or Flip ?

Concentrate on the basics first, then as you advance in your education/experience levels, you can fine tune with the smallest of details.Inspections - Never pay for an inspection upfront, Here is what I do and what I have taught previous students - Evaluate your expenses on your own and base your offer on that and your analysis of the ARV, make your offer based on that.

I believe that birth rates will continue to stay low and college attendance for graduating high school students will continue to rise.

I have some current rentals but they are what I would call low risk low short term return (college student houseing in good longterm hoods)with high appreciation potential.

I'm a college student very interested in real estate investment.

@Gary McGowan have you looked at the student housing market in London?
