They have clients wanting a 3/2 modern farmhouse styled home with a little bit of land where they can just move in and enjoy.I was off on the comps per foot for this area..... 

It has clean lines and is very modern, we currently are in the MEP rough-in stage and installing exterior veneer.

I already have one bachelor's degree (Marine Transportation), I was returning to college to conduct a career shift (Computer Science).

I've had the same experience....seems to be the way of modern day American!

If they feel this new guy is coming in demanding top market rent to live in a so, so complex they will leave.This is all a science to it but generally property managers are doing this on a larger scale I see with hundreds of units.    

The Tenant may move if they get upset, however, when they go to look for a new place they are likely to only find places for $800, as long as they aren't more modern than yours, there is no reason to leave.When I bought my first place, it was a 6-unit multi-family, going rates are about $475 to $500 in my area and an old lady that has been there for 40+ years was paying $305.

In my humble (and often worthless) opinion, it's the colors and finishes of a house that give it that classic feel (or that modern feel) vs. the sectionalization (new word perhaps) of rooms.

I'm a 28 year old, 2013 graduate with a bachelors in Mathematics/Computer Science.  

Perhaps my reference to unethical gurus wasn't made clear.Now I'll bet you put your jeans on just like I put my jeans on, :)Don't kill the messenger, if the message is not what you want to hear.We agree on more than you may think.Let's transpose this from "F" to "B flat", slow the tempo and lower the crescendo, even jazz has basic principles to abide by to be good, so do all other styles of music or any art and business is an art and a science.

If you think there is a good chance the market stays strong and the place will increase in value (and maybe force some appreciation by getting a dated one and modernizing it while you are living there) you can sell, get a quick profit, and since it was your primary any gain is tax free.
