On BP forums, meetups, REIAs, coffees, find your local experienced operators/NOT paid gurus and see if you can help them find deals, drive for dollars, analyze deals, line up contractors - it’s your unpaid internship to soak up as much experience as you can handle - - best of luck!!

In order, we usually look at these factors first: 1) value/equity opportunity of the deal, 2) proximity of the unit to downtown, employer hubs, retail and colleges/tech centers, 3) rent ratios to other units nearby, 4) general population mix/makeup of the area and 5) current rental inventory on the market for the area. 

We should totally meet up for some coffee or drinks!

Is there a new apartment building being constructed nearby?
