The definition seems to be: "if I can think of a worse neighborhood then this must be a C".My definition is to look at the median price for the city or metro area.

And definitely good to have other operators to compare against.

From the side of being a sponsor and having worked with almost all of the firms being discussed to get investors into our fund (I can say quest was great to work with since they are no longer around), there are those that are definitely a lot easier to work with than others and some really drag on the paperwork process whereas others are great.

And definitely follow @Nathan Gesner's lead on that advice! 

Definitely focusing on offmarket or even on market multifamily homes (minimum 4 units). started off in real estate development last 2 years but the paydays are brutal building then waiting to sell.So now looking to switch up strategies to purchase cashflowing properties and then get back to ground up construction or even possible fix and flips. 

Zoning codes and definitions are different by zoning entity.2. 

You're definitely not too late to the game!

One thing I would definitely recommend is getting the students' parents to co-sign on the lease.

Both Carolinas are definitely markets I would look at. 

MTR is tough to gauge and is definitely depending on location.
