My places ALL have shutters on the windows and 100% tile floors, 3/2 and one story.  

(coffee maker all dishes includeded etc).It is a dorm style lay out all the bathrooms are onsuite so there is no half or hallway bathroom

Tiling your tub surrounds to the ceiling not only looks nicer, but also helps waterproof the area better, and will likely never need replaced (versus vinyl surround which last about 3 yrs before tenants start cracking them, in my experiences).

Also when it came time to pick the finish products (tile/stone/fixtures/etc) I would request getting the manufacturer, the model #, sku#, picture if possible...everything.

Hahaha right you should've see the pink and yellow tile!

Even if someone gives you the lay of the land, you would still want to go there to see for yourself, just as you would definitely have someone come check out Dorchester to see what they consider safe and not safe.

My priced were listed at $795 for one of the two upstairs bedroom with a shared hall bathroom, $895 for the down stairs bedroom with its own hall bathroom, $995 for one of the two bedrooms upstairs with their own bathroom, and $1095 for the last master suite downstairs with a tiled shower and walk in closet.

I will lay out my strategy on paper and meet with a lender.

You don't know the area, have no ability to lay eyes on it yourself and it's not easy.
