I have had a lot of success purchasing 5 bedrooms houses next to larger universities and have been able to easily find tenants.

This virtually guarantees increased cash flow.- equity pay down is guaranteed.  

Sellers set the buyer's agency commission (in most cases both before and after the lawsuit, so virtually no change there) because that is the most practical way for these transactions to be structured.

.: Why i do not like 1% rule- In virtually every market, the highest rent to value ratio is in the lower class area.  

John - I've recently added "virtual staging" to my rental photos.

Also can I attend this monthly meeting virtually?

But also Columbia has university of South Carolina and a tier 1 and tier 2 hospital so I would have the option of midterm rentals as well.

They focused on renovations that appeal universally.. think updated kitchens and bathrooms - and kept meticulous records of their expenses.

Your opportunity is also what's difficult, having virtually unlimited options :)
