We're building a platform focused on acquiring and operating student housing near Tier 1 and Tier 2 universities, mainly existing assets, but we’re definitely exploring different paths to get there, including value-add apartments, small portfolios, and even purpose-built subdivisions in the right market.We’re especially drawn to walkable or shuttle-accessible locations within a few miles of campus, ideally where we can bring operational discipline or reposition the asset to drive NOI.

You're clearly on the right track, sourcing and managing stabilized or light value-add deals is a smart approach, especially if you're focused on long-term upside in strong rental markets.The best advice: keep building relationships with local brokers, stay disciplined on your underwriting, and vet partners carefully, especially when bringing in private lenders or JV capital.

A few things that make us stand out:Scale + Experience: We manage 400+ units across Greater Cincinnati, the majority for investors who don’t live here locally.Leasing Discipline: Our team tracks Days on Market daily and holds leasing accountable to get properties filled fast at market rents. 

From residential sales to multifamily acquisitions and high-performing Airbnbs, I’ve closed hundreds of transactions and built my own $7M portfolio using creative strategies and disciplined execution.

A disengaged tenant doesn’t bother.They also don’t invest emotionally in the community—creating friction with neighbors and instability in the neighborhood you’re trying to improve.

This is a business, and raising rents is a discipline of the business. 

Letting Emotions Run the BusinessThis is a business, not a friendship.

Love the discipline and clarity you already have at 19—that’s huge for building long-term wealth.

Success in this field is built on a foundation of solid research, a clear strategy, and long-term discipline. 

Looking back, I realized the importance of focusing on the data and leaving emotions aside.
