The city-owned Section 8 building next door.Drug dealers ripped off my cameras, threatened sanitation workers, and scared off a tenant just for having cameras on his truck and now we have 2 vacancies.

Quote from @Ronald Ho: I found a multifamily owner that wants to sell his property off market but doesnt want to sign an exclusive listing with any agents.

The other thing with comparing these 2 would be MLS deals are easy to find, off market is not.

@Robel Nessro if you're majoring in something like business management/finance/business, you'll certainly learn a lot of skills that you can transfer to numerous branches of REI...So, that type of college degree can give you multiple points of leverage (it can help you understand REI, while also helping you understand how to operate other businesses, while also qualifying you for W2 jobs--so, you can reap multiple rewards and have multiple options just from one college experience--that's great!)

Another approach to consider is exploring Midwest markets, where you can often find undervalued, off-market student rental opportunities with strong cash flow and more predictable management.

However, I'm also very tempted to pay off my LTR and own it outright for the peace of mind, and that would in turn make most of the rent income net profits.On the other hand i read you're better off paying off your primary residence.

30k is enough to get you ripped off far away.

If you pay off your loan, your "return" on that cash is 8.5%. 

For me 5% or less is generally when I would not pay off early. 3.2% Do not pay that off early.
