There's usually a good reason why a company is cheaper or more expensive.

We have managed to build a solid liquid nest egg, but I'm hesitant to lock the majority of it up in a low LTV mortgage on a really expensive primary residence.

We have a solid inventory of newer properties that will have low maintenance for many years.

So the choice of tenant would be key.On the flip side, reasons to hold: a very low mortgage rate; probably not the case. 

At $2450, it will cover those expenses.

I know, big expense right.

They seem to be very expensive and I'm not sure if it's something absolutely necessary or not. 

Locally my observation is that the need is more for low income young and working vs college student.

Quote from @Alecia Loveless: @Jonathan Bombaci I think a good lawyer that has passed the bar to practice in two states is going to be more expensive than $200,000.

It’s a market with low risk and high potential, which makes it an attractive option for those looking to diversify outside of expensive markets like California.Regarding turnkey properties, it sounds like you’ve already found a good provider.
