Again, treating folks with housing support funds with the same dignity and respect as everyone else, usually nets quality clients that listen and do their best to follow the rules.

3) What neighborhoods would you recommend in this price range if I'm targeting high quality tenants?

I want to try and offset as much cost as possible without compromising quality so I’m looking for a GC mentor who could help me eat, breathe, sleep and wake GC lol.

Buy a quality property, stay away from the hood, rehab it as if you would move in, take your time picking a tenant, you'll be find.

@Ming HuangRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

My advice would be to really focus on placing a quality tenant.

Do everything right: To include but not limited to pro photos, professional quality design, durable furnishings.

I know the issues with the building, the quality of the condo, and the state of the association.

The appeal of student housing to rental investors lies in its ability to provide a steady income stream, especially in areas with high enrollment growth and limited new construction.Given your experience and the quality of your properties, you should find a receptive market among rental investors.
