And while crime isn't out of control in either suburb, it is higher than the national average and the schools are medicore at best.

In addition, there will be a ton of high school seniors coming to campus Jan-March to tour campus etc to decide if they would like to attend etc. 

Now that we have significant equity positions in renovated, stable properties, we want to move into even better neighborhoods with better schools and we'd like to scale our business by purchasing newer and larger multi-family properties (rather than groups of duplexes).

Anthony,You would be surprised by using some old school methods like simply writing a letter like you mentioned. 

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

I will be applying to schools this upcoming summer, interviewing in the fall, and, Lord-willing, finding out late fall where I will be headed. 

A spokesperson for the school said Mendenhall had not been a paid university employee but had coached as a volunteer in 2021.I am sorry but when you lie about something so minor you know there are bigger issues!

Must be levitating by magic I guess.

Again, the program is not a magic pill, and it is a lot of work.

A laundromat is certainly much easier to sell than a bakery or a real estate brokerage...The real magic happens when you combine both (biz and REI), one to generate cash, the other to invest, grow and tax shelter.
