@Chris Kay finding a quality, cost-effective contractor is extremely difficult:(There are thousands of contractors that are great talkers, but rarely perform within budget.Standard bait & switch is to lowball a bid, then once they get started all sorts of things "pop up" that somehow their bid didn't cover.

If not I would suggest finding a servicer to collect and manage that note. 

Would highly suggest getting a subscription and making sure you look at properties that match your condo and see what they're making each year.

I’m a contrarian but I’d suggest Columbus.

For out-of-state investors, I suggest considering a C-class turnkey single-family home.

There’s normally action items that can be implemented into your management process that are more effective. 

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

For example, incorporating energy-efficient solutions and smart home technology has been a game-changer in similar markets, especially when paired with features like office spaces that cater to remote workers.As for potential add-ons, corporate housing partnerships are a brilliant suggestion!

Philly has a ton of opportunity, but since you are new to the area, I would suggest waiting six months before you buy anything there so you can really understand the block construction of the area.

Without knowing the specifics of the Providence market, I would suggest researching the locations of other student housing providers (ex: https://the02908club.com/).
