People that are just out to fill their own pockets don't fit in - we don't have to take advantage of people to make money in real estate.

How about this: If your program is filled with hype and promises that many students won't have the ability to realize (as you well know) when someone isn't happy with the programs or their results, you GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY BACK...Is that really too much to ask?

I am getting inquiries on the rental but so far nobody has filled out the application.

Should I try to have him fill out a W9 and sign some sort of contract since money over $600 is being exchanged for services? 

If I advertise my unit on the open market for $1500 per month and a section 8 tenant is interested and gives me their packet and I fill out the packet stating the rent I am charging is $1500, there is no surprise side deal because all parties are aware of the rent I am charging.

This deal, valued at over €200 million, positions TPG to take advantage of Ireland’s robust housing demand, especially in the greater Dublin area where Quintain’s land bank could produce up to 7,700 new units.France: Quick Office Lease-Up at Paris Mixed-Use ComplexIn France, the office component of the Emblem complex near Paris is quickly filling up.

And then purchase a second property with higher debt to fill out your 1031 exchange.  

Most brand new units fill up within weeks if not leased already!

If you're not working with a local agent to help you screen tenants...I would say the best way to get as many eyes on the property is create marketing material - add to local FB groups and host 2 consecutive open house weekends showing a model unit and amenities.If you're close to any University Campuses - I would also suggest to partner with the university for housing opportunities for upperclass students.Good luck with filling those up!
