If all the students live on one side of campus and you buy on the other, it may not be rented as easily.I'm glad you found a niche to go after and master.

People laughed at you if you mentioned creative financing during the run up, but now, we are seeing more master lease and seller carry backs.We've been using community banks, stabilizing then refinancing to agency.

Each unit in teh building has their own master water shutoff valve, so I can't imagine it will be that difficult to get some hardware + automated billing system through someone.

I have a great property in PHX that we have listed for sale, but I would be interested in running an RAL out of my house (already furnished, 5 bed 3 bath, single story ranch style home with two master bedrooms and a pool). 

Changed the Floorplan from 3br1ba to a 2br2ba w/ Master on suite.

This usually involves committees, master plans, and sometimes the city council. 

One of the biggest pain points for potential hosts or owners is the 24/7 communication so mastering that solves a major anxiety point for them.

We use the same master lock system so keys are easy.

We renovated the upstairs with included: new kitchen countertops and backsplash, adding a half bath and laundry room to the main floor, refinishing the hardwood floors, painting everything, refreshing the main and master bathrooms (paint, new fixtures, regrouting tub/shower surrounds).

I just wanted to share this story with you guys so you know what you're up against in the current world we live in.I'll circle back and update everyone when I have more information or updates.Wish me luck. smh.Didn't read your master piece that could fill 12 volumes, but what's your question?
