Add on leverage and depreciation benefits and this becomes a very powerful business model if operated well.There are also benefits of managing the property if you have the scale to do so. 

Both products are free (with add-ons if needed).

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

One thing I'd add on is that many students have had issues living off campus near Temple.

As I grow as a investor, I might look to add one or two different vehicles for investment, I am going to focus more on finding excellent investments that I KNOW are excellent, than just diversification.

I’ve been finding that my best deals lately have been the value add ones, either those needing repairs or those being mismanaged.

From the little work i just completed over the internet. here are couple data i found:Town with great cash flow but very slow appreciation over time are: Syracuse, Binghamton, Owego, Town with less cash flow and high appreciation over time are : Ithaca, Rome, CortlandUnless someone else has something to add on where i am wrong.  

Displaying a low price up front with fees or add-ons that raise the final price results in more bookings / sales and more revenue.Consumers may say they hate it, and some may threaten to boycott vendors that price this way (as some have in this thread). 

@Cole Puterbaugh I will add one additional but very important point.
