While you are slaving, eat ramen, roommate up or live in trailer, avoid Starbucks and tuck every dollar you can squeeze out into a bank account. need 20% down and money for materials. so for 80K home (trashed), you will want 35K banked to get started, just a rough idea.

I am open to grabbing a coffer or meeting up to further discuss as well.Thank you, If you get along with your current roommates, try to keep them in the picture.

My roommates are there to help the teapot person.  

So I was able to live in one of the units with a roommate.

The other tenants will also be my roommates, therefore, I would like to have younger, student aged tenants as opposed to older adults. 

@John Harvell I was thinking the spare room would attract roommates my tenants "forget" to mention anyway.

Purchase price: $196,500 Cash invested: $30,000 Sale price: $273,500 Initially bought for our son to live in with roommates while in college, so he essentially lived for 'free'.

(Excluding utilities which I will split w my roommate).Bringing my yearly cash flow to negative 853 dollars per year.Now this is for the first 2 yearsBut after, I plan on refinancing, (any advice on this again would be great), moving out and renting that unit for 650.Adding expenses such as 10% for PM, upping the maintenance to 1,100,Bringing my yearly income to 3,831 per year.Thoughts?

As far as I can tell, from calls to Campus Life to asking the local REIA, there's no Off-Campus Housing info site at this college, no active roommate or rental housing listing on Facebook or Instagram.Has anybody ever started a Facebook group specifically for local student rental listings?
