The closest I've found is the Zillow Housing Data page (https://www.zillow.com/researc...) but I have a few issues with the "Rentals" data. 1) The rental data does not breakdown by property type (SFR, condos, etc.)2) There are a lot of zip codes that aren't populated with rent pricesThe "Home Values" data on the the other hand is very comprehensive as you can pull data for SFR, 1 bd condo, 2 bd condo, etc., and it has way more zip codes populated with prices than the rental data does.

They pay what equates to $800-950 a month per student for 4 bd/2ba at the closest university affiliated apartments and on campus.

@Michelle Tucker I also researched a little and the great lakes reia seems like the closest.

Find the closest new construction home to where you plan to build... then think about why no other builders have ventured to where you want to build.

Perhaps establishing an escrow account for the entire lease period is something to be explored.They choose California for two very simple reasons, it's very heavily populated with Asians but most importantly it is the closest to China so the trip home during summers, holidays etc...would be the shortest.

The closest we've gotten is tenants depositing into our accounts at the bank.- You will be limiting future applicant pools if you refuse to take cash.  

Ridiculously stringent criteria are so crazy that nobody meets the minimum qualification, thus you pick the one that comes closest - but if there should be an applicant that does qualify then you accept that applicant. 

This is a great idea, I'll see if I can put up a flyer at the closest schools etc.

The closest I've ever lived is in Sumas, WA, and Bellingham, WA, so I'm not completely without a clue to the area, though.The biggest problem with that area, is access year-round.  

I think I'll approach him and give him the option of getting into a new lease at a higher rent rate or move out in 60 days (or whatever the closest to that would be based on the month-to-month tenancy).
