I bought a small apartment near where I live with the intention on renting to students of the local business university in Oestrich-Winkel (European Business School) Following renovation, I was able to immediately rent the apartment out and have since been looking for the next deal in my immediate area.Now that the bug is stuck, I am starving to continue expanding my portfolio and continue moving forward with this property endeavor I am going to follow.
