We are really looking for 1.3 to have a healthy business and proper debt coverage.

I could flip or hold/rent these properties and get a healthy return.Glad to see I have good company.Rick

The top tier ones especially with healthy endowments will indeed be fine but middle or lower tier private schools that don't offer value for money are in trouble.

Ideally I'd like to not worry about crime and be in a market that is growing and economically healthy and sound so that 5-10 years from now I'd have a good amount of equity in the investments I made to buy more deals. 

But I gave up the home run to make a VERY HEALTHY payday for about 10 hours of work total.

I am running a business , I am not out there to make wages ,I am out there to make a healthy profit .

I generally try to get at least a 15-20% discount off ARV when buying off-marker properties, but it has varied over the years.Hope you are staying healthy and safe during these crazy times!

These are the sellers OFF market that may accept a healthy discount, but these houses come with issues that may be cheap to fix or may be very expensive to fix.

I have a healthy amount of capital saved to begin investing, and will be using this next year to keep building my funds and continue my research and learning process.So my question is this:If you could start over (or are already using this approach), would you choose a real estate related profession to give you an edge with your investing?

healthy markets in ALL the major MSA's of the US are a plus..
