Get some pro photos, turn on all the lights and open all windows, get maximum amount of light(Look up "adaptive realty" they are able to get top rents from their units with their style)4.

Student housing done right can work much better than this model.the tenant pool was the very bottom of the barrel if they don't live here they live in one of those motels that rents rooms by the week...great in theory but to get those people to pay its like you said you would either need a lot of them and then be highly organized and local to make it come close to working.Just hard in my mind to put strangers into such close quarters.. with Students that's different they can adapt to anything.

It's important to be flexible and adaptable in your approach as you gain more experience in the real estate business.

I have not totally adapted to that playing field. 

However, with different times, one can adapt, and maybe try build to a rent model and make tons of equity as a return instead of cash flow.

This is normal so you'll need to adapt or sell elsewhere.

This includes finding tenants, maintaining the property, and handling financial aspects.Consider Professional Help: Depending on your investment strategy and time availability, you may want to hire property managers or real estate investment advisors.Learn and Adapt: Real estate investment is a continuous learning process.

I think people are adapting these terms to fit their own needs. 

My business library has many books in it some decades old which I routinely refer back to because I can't remember every detail of a subject matter and each case is unique but techniques and terms can be timeless and are relevant even today. only a fool completely ignores history and the past... yes it is important to adapt but sometimes old tools work just better.
