Crystal,You could use the BRRR strategy, which involves using a hard money lender to buy the property and then rehabbing and renting out the property and ultimately refinancing with a traditional loan.

I highly recommend The Book on Tax Strategies for Savvy Real Estate Investors by Amanda Han, you can get it right her one Bigger Pockets.

Hey Tamiel Kenney, that sounds like a great strategy for planning upfront to buy, hold and rehab- market permitting.

Hi Vince, First of my disclosure: I have not closed on a LO deal yet, but I have studied this strategy extensively.

WelcomeJovana Rotula, Investing is fantastic, if you get a chance read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide here, under Education Tab under Guides, There are lots of strategies for Real Estate, but not every market fits every strategy

I was hoping to find an investor on BP who was using this strategy in their student rental however maybe it is not common for a reason.

And sometimes you have to change your strategy based on what's available.  

What is your plan/strategy for investing?

Going to try to do the BRRR strategy. 

My wife and I are new to real estate investing but we have discussed our long term and important goals to us and decided last year on a long term hold investment strategy.
