It's not investing, it's active income and it's hard work.

As far as I can tell, from calls to Campus Life to asking the local REIA, there's no Off-Campus Housing info site at this college, no active roommate or rental housing listing on Facebook or Instagram.Has anybody ever started a Facebook group specifically for local student rental listings?

ADR and Occupancy rates are more of an art than a science, but using sites like AirDNA are great places to start and then verify thru local property management or just good old fashioned research on Airbnb and VRBO for active rentals in the area.  

It's a combination of number of posts, number of votes for those posts, and weighted differently for threads started vs comments on other people's threads.And it only looks at the last few weeks of activity, which is why some people with fewer posts and votes show up.

I am active duty enlisted Air Force, e4 making 3200ish a month.

A lot of it will depend on what business activities you will do, i.e. buy and hold rentals vs. flipping.

Look into taking advantage of the Military Tuition Assistance Program while you are on Active Duty.

I tried to be pro-active and have them check ahead of time, but they don't do that.

***Currently doing a flip that has been nothing like I expected and super stressful, figured I'd share my "flip diary" with you guys and newbie investors so you don't make the same mistakes I'm paying for....It all started out with a "deal" I got from a Wholesaler.

Read books, listen to podcasts, read blogs, be active here or even get a mentor who will accelerate your progress.
