Hey all,I’m toying with an idea and wanted to get some real feedback from people actually in the trenches.I know most of us don’t want/need a full property manager (8–12% of rent is steep, and a lot of us still want to keep control).

NY is all about bequeathing property owners with all of the responsibility but none of the control. 

If the property was transferred from an entity they control, that can trigger related-party issues 

In fact, pre-leasing velocity in a lot of Tier-2 and Tier-3 university markets continues to outperform expectations.Here’s what this means for investors:Student housing has proven far more recession-resistant than most realize.Demand is built-in - students keep enrolling, and they need somewhere to live.The operational complexity is higher, but so are the returns if managed well.For me, this reinforces a big shift we’re betting on at Gold Crest Holdings:When you understand your tenant base and control execution, location near strong universities becomes an incredible defensive play.Curious how others on BP are viewing this trend. 

It can be a good balance between debt control and tax deferral.

I’m helping disciplined people take control of their wealth through private banking, real estate, and private lending.

They don't control property, you do, so control it like a small business.Be a fair and honest landlord.

Early focus should be clean ops and risk control: strong lease, proper disclosures, solid insurance plus an umbrella, and fixing safety issues fast.

In a very strict process controlled by the IRS in Rev Proc 2000-37, the QI for your 1031 can take title to the land before you do. 

I just don’t like the lack of control I have in the stock market, buts it’s been out performing my RE by far over the last 10 years. lol Thanks for also sharing your investing experience.
