(We both work at one of the same jobs so we can still spend a bit of time together during breaks).So for my questions...1) are you or someone you know a real estate agent?

We need to hit 6 months just to break-even and at 9 months we would start to see a correction.

Breaking a large goal down into much smaller pieces enables you to achieve a goal much more easilyRenting to college students results in a homeowners insurance surcharge Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Sounds like a break even, right?

Your team can make you or break you in real estate investing and you can either use a team you are already connected to and build some great investments, or you can find where it is best to invest and build a team there!  

AS it stands I'm breaking even.Thanks for your thoughts-DI llc

I'd recommend having a business plan/operating agreement in place, a strong lease that covers all the typical tenant issues that come up such as pets, late fees, adding/removing roommates, breaking the lease, making improvements, maintenance requests etc, and just sticking to it.

Specifically, we are getting ready to break ground on a new construction.

If there are these appliances in the units get in the leases the language that tenants must repair or replace these specific appliances at their expense if they break down.

If you find someone to pay more and break your contract you will just get sued and lose out anyways.
