@Lee Ripma I am chatting with them next week along with a couple other folks. I am determined to buy a rental this year! Thanks for your insights Lee.

Congrats @Lee Ripma I will check into them for sure. It seems many investors like MO over KS but cash flow AND A class property is a great combo, THANKS!

Which wholesalers would you recommend? I think Twin could be a great buy and hold market.

Hi Nathan, Do you find new businesses opening up as well? What about who is moving there? Is it college grads,remote workers, Californians or retirement folks-Boise is getting TONS of those. Thanks.

Thanks, @Lee Ripma. Where did you choose to buy for this type of investment? Is there an area-maybe colleges,hospitals-where this model works best. I will get in touch with them.Any specific contact I should ask for? I have lots of questions!

@Lee Ripma is livehomeroom.com the rent by the room option you were thinking of? I am a first time OOS investor and this concept sounds interesting. I'm researching the Kansas City and Sioux Falls markets but know I'll need a good team to make OOS work. This could be a great option.

I live in Boise but can't compete in this market. Twin Falls is an area that also seems to be growing.  I would like to connect with agents, boots on the ground, working in that market and see what's what.  Any off market possibilities?? Let's connect. Thanks! Laura

@Justin Tahilramani Great system.  Is your land a mobile home park? Do you keep adding pads and septic for each unit? Are you zoned for a certain amount of homes?

Hi John, Stay in!  It might feel like a waste of time now ( most of us felt like that at one time or another), but it's a foundation that you can build ANYTHING on.  Research GC's in your area and see if you can work for them in the summer. You can study the business side while you're in school, then when you're 18 and legal to work, you'll be miles ahead....you'll also get to see how different GC's run their businesses and that will be really valuable.  :)

Wow, I love this thread! I'm glad Lucas posted it.  A lot of good information and options.  I'm looking to buy my first multi family and I think note investing would also be a good option to throw into my passive income mix. Thanks @Jay Hinrichs and @Caleb Heimsoth and @Guy Yoes for your input. I'm a new investor but having hit 50, I'm looking for ways to get passive income without the 40 year wait or million dollar buy in.
