Although another consideration is that FHA loans are assumable, and if we do enter into a rising interest rate environment, that could be a nice selling point.

Might be ok to buy SLIGHTLY above market but in this market environment I would be weary.I also agree that a 3% interest rate (Is this interest only) really low. 

To further clarify my initial post - I know very little about real estate but I'm hoping that a lot of what I do at work (managing in a team-oriented environment, etc.) will be useful as I go through this process. 

It seems to me that the dynamiic of leasing cycles is dependent on the economic environment of the area.

Like you I am a bit surprised that more directed branding (in order to gain recognition and build following/credibility) is not prevalent in REI.I was thinking of doing branding that would provide some context to the type of environment you'll find behind the door of a rental.For example, I was thinking of doing a TechHaus rental (3-4 bdr) in which I would cater to working professionals in the tech industry - with features such as whiteboard walls, connected home, and work stations.
