The way you described sounds like they already sensed you are not so sure what you want. 

You'd be able to model the various pros and cons that you described to see what the best option might be for your portfolio.Based on your description, the office model might have an above average growth rate given the location and less replacement reserves given the nature of the structure.

I have 8 units 1 mile out from the university student center and on the edge of what might be described as "the hood."
