They don't manage properties for me, (I live in CA), but I can offer my strongest possible endorsement in terms of character and ethics:  http://www.expressrpm.com/.You should interview them.

You may find deals from connections there.I am not endorsing, just suggesting to check it out as I have met great folks at the Manhattan Beach events.

The marketing and approach will be very different for these 2 distinct populations.Not sure you will get a university to endorse private housing, but you could establish a brand and market via the University's newspaper, radio, bulletin boards, etc.

Jack Aduwo thank you for the endorsement.

My question is, How should I endorse the check to be deposited in my bank?
