What kind of maintenance issues have you experienced?

Hi BP,Curious if anyone has primarily focused on or has experienced renting out their properties to local college students?

There, you can meet syndicators, potential partners, investors, mentors, and just pick the brains of more experienced investors who have been in your shoes.

With your connections you would be an ideal bird dog or gopher for an experienced investor who needs to get permits dropped off and more.

(I am just asking since I have not managed to get a deal that good, and would like to learn/gain some new perspective from more experienced ppl, like how much cash-flow are those deals, how much downpayment/initial cost, how much monhtly estimated expense, etc)

Then, I would suggest finding and experienced mentor and/or partnering with an experienced operator to take down your first deal.

by selling now and "taking profit" as stock traders say, you re-invest in better properties and will have smaller cash flow to start but better return on equity.Any of the Refi approaches limit you to only pulling up to 75%, leaving 25% equity trapped.   

My best advice to any new or experienced investor would be to just run your numbers and narrow down your criteria.

The only time I have experienced cons in partnerships is when there were no expectations of who is going to do what, or what the payouts will be.

Before you sit down and speak to an experienced investor, it would benefit you greatly to do some research here on BP (for free) to learn the lingo, the steps, the formulas, etc.
