@John PuI'll try to answer some of your questions here.1) Due diligence should involve verifying all the numbers as on any deal, structural inspections, environmental study, etc.

Wondering if there are sample deals that I can study.

I have little knowledge about REI in general but am doing my due diligence with study and research.

Start the study by taking these simple steps: Call the apartments in the area that are of similar class.

This strategy has worked very well for him, supplementing it with traditional investment deals throughout the process but this strategy is not for everyone, just a case-study.

This last time he has been studying REI on his own and thanks to him I ended up here at BP.I started obsessing with reading about REI, listening to the podcast, among other things.Two days ago he called me and told me if we could get together to talk.

Harvard does not use good reason.I would also look into who paid for the study, follow the money

Call if you want to chat, or if you like I'll send you my 100 page PDF of the notes I took when I was studying for the license.I'll just tell you up front that the license is WAY too easy to get. 

Now, since the house is super near one of the biggest colleges of PR we would like it to be for students (private rooms and kitchen/living/study to be shared).  

Currently studying for my real estate license in Houston, Texas.
