University Rentals? (Akron-OH)
Haven't came across these until now. Would you say they're worth the time to look into? Reason I ask is because I can see it (possibly?) being two extremes. Bad extreme; tenants are students and if not screened good could really tear the place up and make maintainence a big issue. Good extreme; considering they aren't tenants that destroy the place, could be a very solid cashflow property year after year since students always need a place to live. Is student housing a good market, or can it be more trouble than it's worth? This is more focused on the Akron Univ. area as I know some parts aren't all that safe either.
