yes...very low...but if you look at the rental costs...they are about the same as everyware else. I am working on a 4 unit i think i can have running for under $20k....2 studios, 2 1bedrooms...close to the colleges.

every block has one or 2 boarded over...i think it is a gold mine!

 Are you talking about the student ghetto, or Fratville? If you weren't a student at Western, is it west of campus or east of campus? Pro and cons to each. The student ghetto (east of campus) seems to get taken care of a little better, but crime is a bigger issue. Fratville (west of campus) gets torn apart by underclassmen. Pick your poison.

I'm excited to move back and start investing as well. Best of luck!
