@Daniel Mills My area is not as rural as you may think. there are two large universities nearby.

Is there a universal/rule of thumb to help estimate this?

Stockton University will be opening it's Atlantic City campus this year which consists of a Residence building on the beach block, Academic building across the street and a shared garage with South Jersey Gas.

The spike in property value traces to a real estate entity of supreme might and influence in these parts(Harvard University).if someone is willing to clear the foreclosure and do a JV on the upside that would be a good out come just have attorney put together a nice JV agreement and record it post sale.

I received a bachelors degree from Cleveland state university in 2012.

I’m a young Italian boy, I have 19 years old, and the 21th may I will start the university in Miami!

I contacted a University printing lab (they'll print for anyone).  

I'm currently still in school at Iowa State University (studying construction engineering) but hope to be able to purchase my first property next year at this time before graduation in May.

Duplexes around universities in College Station/Bryan, Austin, Lubbock, San Marcos, etc. are good for older college students who want to live off-campus and pay less than they would for a brand new apartment, and provides you with a steady stream of cash flows.
