Like when someone buys a property the first mortgage is paid off and a new mortgage is created.

Last, and certainly not least, if you focus on qualitative factors (on top of ROI), there is an opportunity to create value and brand recognition by word of mouth (marketing, and your current tenants telling their friends that you provide a quality product/service). 

Have you set goals for yourself and created a long term investing plan? 

Definitely create a relationship with the school and their liaisons.

I was told by a lender that if I wanted to put 10 under my name and 10 under my wife's name, we would have to sign a Free Trader Agreement - in basic terms, a document prepared for the purposes of waiving each party’s rights as to real estate and creating a right to obtain real estate independent of the other.

@Clayton Collins - You may want to create a sample deal package that represents the market and returns you're working towards.

So a one-off quick-flip would not create such exposure, but a repeated focus on such activities could.  

It does create a higher bar to demonstrate your intent.  

Thanks Nathan;I've started to create a marketing plan to Realtors and have access to a database of active agents in my area.

Do we need to create a partnership or form a LLC??
