I'm not sure I understand correctly. 

@Scott Lorence make sure you find a PMC that has experience dealing with college rentals. 

Would be interested in connecting to learn more about your experience. 

Also, I've recently learned about these different REI tactics.

After attending industry meet-ups and conferences, I learned that the fighting/disagreements between the Nelson Brothers (Patrick and Brian) had been ongoing for years.

There is too much to learn at once. 

Ponzi scheme for sure. 

Not sure how they can get better prices than you doing the same shopping. 

I'm curious to dive deeper into the Santa Fe market and would love to learn from those with local experience.

The fees and overall costs of these loans needs to be a key factor including what if the project goes over time . . . . you can be underwater in no time.Underestimating repair costs and overestimating ARVs based on Zestimates are the next stumbling block.There's money to be made but make sure numbers all work WITH contingencies defined and overages expected . . . remember, a project will always cost more and take longer than initially thought!
