Student Rental Opportunity - Looking for Partners/Lenders

Student Rental Opportunity - Looking for Partners/Lenders

New to Real Estate · New York, NY · Member since 2020 · 1 post · 1 vote

Hi Everyone, my name is Sean and I have been a member of BiggerPockets for a few years now while learning more about the community and building my general knowledge of the real estate industry. I have come across a great deal on a property that borders my alma mater in NY and would love to turn it into a student rental. The 4 bed/2 bath house is listed for $400,000 and is surrounded by similar student housing on the most sought-after street for students. Having graduated from the University, I am very familiar with the location and rental demand. I am looking for a private money lender to partner with on this deal and possible future similar deals. I would also appreciate any advice from the community as I begin my real estate investment journey.

    @Sean Nevin

    no offense, but i would not start with private money on your very first deal.  nor would i "partner" with anyone who reaches out to you randomly and offers you terms that are too good to be true.

    instead, can you house hack the property you've identified?

    i strongly recommend starting with a house hack.

    did i mention house hacking?

    Hey Sean,

    Sounds interesting and you can certainly provide value being super familiar with the market and the school. I would suggest putting a pitch together showing income and expense numbers. If you have a deal you can find the money and/or the partners for it. I may have some good lending options for you as well if you want to reach out.

    Hi Sean,

    Welcome to Bigger pockets! I have been doing NYS student rentals for over 20 years. Can you provide more details on this deal, like: 

    What college town is it in? What is the expected rent per room per month? Who will manage/maintain it? Will it turn a monthly profit after taxes/insurance/maintenance/loan service are all paid? I look forward to the details!

    Cheers,

    Evan
