I bet they are pounding on this guy hard to. 

I bet people would actually pay MORE for the property given the 50 year term...I just wonder what the restrictions will be - only for first time home buyers, only for "poor" people etc.

Working with a reputable, large hard money lender will be your best bet.

High fee 8% / 10%, they are the most reliable companies in most cases, sometimes the leasing model is to hire local agents that gives a better marketing on your property to reduce vacancy rate, and when offering betted vendors they have the best prices.2.

I bet it is not there anymore. 

The best bet is a short term rental that is licensed, operating and the permit or license is transferrable.

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. 

If someone is putting 20% down and interest only that is better long term bet than a 30 year loan at 97% financing.
