Congratulations on doing a Wholesale deal to pay for college!  

I have college area rentals too and do what I can to avoid midyear vacancy too.  

No one wants to give someone money to practice on a new strategy.  

I would suggest you start by building your education, whether that is a college degree, independent education on a skill or a trade, or surrounding yourself with mentors.

They are usually fresh out of college with lots of debt--- that means they can't afford a mortgage.- Why buy a house you have to all the work on yourself (mowing the lawn, watering the grass, etc) when you could live in an apartment building with an on-call maintenance man to do the work?

Practically speaking, that means that any safety issues (unsound structural items, unsafe wiring, etc.) and "broken" systems of the house (plumbing, heating, insulation, etc.) will need to be fixed.

yes this is a great idea and would help those looking to make connections in other cities and find agents whose practice is investor based

Advantages are that its typically simpler and can be faster than a formal probate, however it still requires noticing DHCS (Medi-Cal) and other creditors, so from a practical standpoint will require six (6) month for your seller to get thru court.

Therefore, due to the housing market crash and the failed launch of our real estate investing business, I decided to return to college and major in Marketing.

I am a college student that in around one or two years will graduate undergraduate studies.
