We have been investing in that area for the last 7 years and I have talked to a lot of UNT student that live even in the Corinth, Lake Dallas, Cross Roads, Little Elm area.UNT housing authority (can't reca the dept name at the moment) is actually on record as renting out local private housing to supplement its dorms...the net effect of that could be considered close to rent control...a situation that we originally considered but backed off after looking at the economic growth around the campus and true demographic we wanted to target.

Just depends on how bad it is at purchase (i.e. how much deferred maintenance, what your renovation plan is, etc.).Something else to keep in mind is that if the occupancy rate dips below a certain level (85% to 90%), you cannot qualify for certain loan programs and will have to secure a riskier bridge loan.

@Shea DavidsonWhy not just lend it vs buying a partial.You can have it secured by an asset and it’s mailbox money vs buying a partial and having to read the fine print of what happens if the note goes non - performingWhat types of returns are you looking for ?

, security cameras, moisture sensors etc might pay off) a quick call to your insurance agent to ask for a list of things that will reduce your premium is usually worthwhile.

I am a private lender financing business purpose loans for investment properties in california.I like to service my own loans as that gives me an opportunity to keep in touch with my borrowers and also turn them as my marketing agents too ( where ever i can)I am only doing about 5 loans at a time and use xls for that (interest only loans)I al looking for a recommendation for a cloud based software I could use for servicing a small pool of california loans.Please advise.

I'd like to install 1 or 2 security cameras at my rental property.

We do deal with them when they have the listing but I prioritize private sellers first. 

We are putting the deal together with my Father who is a local contractor and will be organizing the build and private investors for financing the build. 

My thought process is I'm securing ownership interest in the property where I'm the only person with the right to sell it.
