Many people forget that as little as 6 months to a year after the Great Recession, housing crisis, whatever you want to call it, people were already calling for another one.

Not only does the house have lots of cash flow potential, it's located in a market experiencing historically low vacancy rates, and what's being described as a "rental crisis".

Some would argue economic of scale, I do agree to some degree, but we do have sfr from far away that we make great cash flow without being there and those are some of our initial investments.

There is nothing wrong with 9.45% ROI in my opinion especially in this part of the economic market cycle but just be sure your DSCR is high enough to weather any corrections in your particular market.  

@Steve Vaughan Respectfully, throwing "millennials" into a category of people who had no responsibilities and thus not impacted by the financial crisis is short sighted.

The problem is tiny homes are not economical.

Or by just attending networking events and talking directly with people.And better yet pick your spot you are interested in and go to work and learn from them directly.Having said that, I think if you're set on higher education, I think economics, accounting, marketing are all good areas to study.And to add an oddball suggestion, study anything in Information Technology.

I’m a veteran and I can tell you anxiety and/or panic attacks can be debilitating to the point of being a near medical crisis.  

Like @Ryan Groene said, we'd need to know the offer price, economic occupancy to give any meaningful advice. 

I'm happy to provide data on the strength of the Boulder housing market now, in the past decade, through the last recession, and the positive economic indicators for the future and Happy to provide it for free.
