@Nhi Ly   If you are looking for student rentals, something to keep in mind is that you want to be North of E 11th and west of North Fourth st, and south of E Blake to appeal to the student housing crowd

Doesn't have to be in an LLC first of all.It can be a STR reported on schedule E for the year it was used as such.You may need a New CPA.

As @Nicholas L. alluded to, even for the property on E 18th Ave at $160k is probably going to require more than $30k in cash to buy (not counting any potential rehab costs), unless on the off chance there could be seller financing.

In real estate, e-commerce, whatever.. there is, regardless of the age, always going to be snakeoil sales men and Tupperware salesman, or now the modern e-course motivational salesman like Wes Watson or Andrew Tate.Ultimately, the economy and the ways people create value have changed dramatically over the decades.

Quote from @Robert E.

And I suspect their E and O will kick in if this money is lost  just sayin..

P/E ratios are not obtainable.  

I’ve tried a few different options for leases over the years — from state association templates to PDF edits — but recently switched to managing mine through Baselane.What I like about it is that you can either:Generate a state-specific lease directly in the platform (it’s $10 per lease), orUpload your own lease and just use their built-in e-signature tool.That flexibility is nice because I already have a lease template I like, but I still get the convenience of secure e-signing, tenant record storage, and having everything tied to my rent collection system.If you’re just getting started and want something affordable without having to involve a lawyer every time, it’s a good middle ground — compliant, organized, and cheaper than most one-off legal form sites.

It’s been a great learning experience managing it, and now I’m preparing to do my first flip, God willing, within the next 3–4 months.I have a close friend who’s also an investor in my e-commerce business, and he’s expressed multiple times that he wants to invest in my next real estate project.

You can easily tag each transaction using categories that synch to your Schedule E for tax time.
