Rhode Island Realtors needed to pull comps.I am investor and I need a strong team of realtors.

Yes- If the ROI is the same in 2 areas, then that's when I start to look at other factors in investing there- the potential growth of that area, landlord friendliness, which sports team I like, etc. 

I can see no downside to having a professional PM.As I reread your post I get the sense that you want to find a small team of partners where your role in this team would be to be the money person.

@Victor Omoniyi Welcome to the team :)I stay in Austin and quite the newbie too.

@Kody Broussard  Glad to see you reaching out and building your team!

We're new to REI, but looking forward to learning!

One great way to find tenants that are students is to email the coaches of the athletic teams at Xavier letting them know you have apartments for rent.  

Just make sure you do your due diligence and work with an operator that has been around a while with a good track record and has a strong management team and good construction work.  

My team has never dealt with this type of real estate, but, all else considered, it looks like a deal that may work with our business model. 

Experience is great, but with the right team you don't need all of that up front.. you can leverage that in others.
