I do have a website sort of explaining my journey, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post that here.

Sure thingwhat sort of contractacts?

For nearly a decade I've worked with all sorts of real estate strategies.

I would love to talk with you off-line I’m looking for deals and I’m in Texas as well and I could sure use any sort of skill improvement. :-) 

I would check out Hotpads and sort by rooms for rent, this will give you a accurate view of what students are paying for rooms as opposed to Rentometer which pulls completely different data.

I'm excited to see what others say here.But in my situation, I've had several very successful mentors tell me to strive to build some sort of steady active income and then utilize that to buy rental properties.

I really need to bring in some motivators for that and you need some motivation for your problem.  

Maybe they simply have the wrong address for the work order (lock change, etc) 123 W 123rd st vs 132 W 132nd st sort of thing.As for the stolen equipment, report it to the Police.

The solution my business partner and I came up with was a sort of reverse lease option.

What sort of management agreement did you come up with?
