House hacking a SFR is a little tougher, unless you are going to convert rooms into short term rentals, or do just an airbnb rental.

Would you buy a property near a flourishing university with the intention of converting it into a student rental, if the general trend of property valuation is stagnant or slightly decreasing?

There is no info outside of you figuring out a way to convert 66k into $1mm.

On top of that there the old growth while still standing your not allowed to cut .. so everything that gets cut today is 2nd 3rd or 4th growth and logs instead of cut at 48 inchs at the butt are cut at 12 to 18.. so they are just not as mature and the quality is just not the same.. 

If so, it can be a matter of just converting more of your leads to actual showings.

Hi all!  I'm a very new RE investor who has a full-time job I have no interest in quitting.  However the idea of building a stream of passive income for retirement is really appealing.So I'm wondering for my first pro...

You can buy a bunch and convert to commercial, just make sure to claim them on taxes on Schedule C as a business rather than Schedule E (and talk to a tax pro before doing this).
