We’d also like to buy a house to move into in the near future and of course dropping $100k of savings into property 2 would delay that.

@Elliot Juarezprobably not what you want to hear but... save up until you have enough to house hack somethingyou'll be glad you did

House needed a full reno.

My question is for anyone that does student housing in the Easton PA.

Furthermore, sellers may price their houses higher than what the market will bear, which causes them to remain on the market for longer.

You are setting yourself up to fail very big.

I ended up blocking the one day on Airbnb and then it syncs to Vrbo.I do have it set up on AirBNB, but get two back to back bookings with VRBO, or a direct and a VRBO and I'm out of luck.I'm doing some digging into different PMS systems.

Most of our housing stock is 60 to 120 years old and requires a lot of capex, especially the bottom of the barrel properties are typically fools gold, because capex will exceed cash flow over a few years.

DMs and reaching out online is one thing but getting out there to meetups with other investors and boots on the ground at open houses, etc is a great way to get involved.

Then packaged a few such properties together, went to a bank and refinanced them out and then tried to find a new property to put those private lenders on.Admittedly, we usually left some of our own money in the properties (our average all in price is about 82% of the ARV) but we had some money to work with which not everyone does (why I recommend house hacking to start for most).
