I have a friend who does well near the Mayo Clinic in MN, I see some really attractive student housing near universities.

Hi everyone, Is it possible to get private lending or attract private lenders on my first deal?

The money is attractive but I’m almost scared to join the rat race and start a 40 year career.

In addition, it's the only multi unit complex in this town which is very attractive to me. 

I wanted to know which area would be best for attracting tenants and I have heard about Johns Hopkins spending development dollars and wondered if that is something I should consider in making my decision ?

Bringing Airbnb to a building could make it more attractive to the right person, and in our experience, short-term renters have left our places in great condition.

@Tim Swierczek hi Tim, the 5% down conventional option sounds attractive, I’ll PM you on that.

End of day, what makes this attractive is having minimal complexity in the physical system for maximum benefit of scale. 

Anyway, what was attracted you to the deal?

Secondly you never want to have dead equity sitting in a property attracting unscrupulous lawsuits.
