We are very familiar with the Northern Colorado area but not Laramie.Any thoughts \ strategy on investing in college areas?  

The only risk is if the company goes bankrupt (which in case I would then start self-managing), and the only costs I'll have to cover are potential structural damages (which would most likely be covered by insurance).Another plus side of having invested all cash, is that I will have potential access to lines of credit both for home equity (up to 70% of home equity), AND for future guaranteed rents (up to 60% of total 10 year rent roll).Already planning on the next property using the same strategy, but this time with traditional financing (looking for 100% mortgage).

I looked at the BRRRR strategy, but I'm not certain a conventional loan refinance would cover everything.This brings me to my questions.  

Motivated seller selling me a 3/2 SFR but not sure what strategy to use.Property Details:Written Appraised Value - 134KPurchase Price - 90KRehab - 15KRent - 1,250/mthTax Rate - 2.54%Strategy 1:20-year mortgage, 4.63% interest, 20% downPurchase, rehab out of pocket, rent it, pay off the mortgage FASTER but collect LESS passive income.Strategy 2:30-year mortgage, 4.75% interest, 20% downPurchase, rehab out of pocket, rent it, pay off the mortgage SLOWER but collect MORE passive income.Strategy 3:25-year, 4.125% interest, 45% downAssume the current mortgage and pay the owner their profit of 40K.

I just wanted to get a general feel for this strategy. 

What's the best strategy to approach the owner?

It's a great series of episodes that puts the education into a great order to learn the basics and even advanced strategies.  

This is a great strategy but does not function here in Utah or Florida.  

I am looking to implement a buy and hold strategy for 2-4 unit multifamily properties since I am looking for an ideal balance between positive cash flow and appreciation potential.
