Fast forward a year later I am at home (Chicago) and find myself in the beautiful suburb of Oak Park.

Regrettably, after eight protracted months, my case was converted to Chapter 7 due to insufficient equity.Ironically, the trustee swiftly secured a buyer for all the properties that were to be sold to STOA/FlipOS—this buyer being Farraway SG, the same entity that acquired the loans held by STOA USA during a time when they were laying off employees and leaving us in a difficult position.STOA never officially filed bankruptcy.

Brick v.s siding and covered v.s no converted parking also make a large difference and are items that have to be adjusted for. 

Rentometer has avg rents at only $1067/mo so I'm also not sure about paying that much for such little rent for a long-term hold perspective when from what little research I've done you can get more elsewhere for the same buy price - maybe someone looking to park money for tax purposes or an all-cash deal hoping for a big upside? 

It’s probably still a bad deal for the owner to install in more than about 10-15% of the assigned parking spots.

Parents tend to stay in STR's further away from campus where overnight parking is less of an issue

And the self-showings, Zillow just did the biggest beta test of this, and it failed epically. unless loosing tens of millions is the goal, if that's the goal than they hit it out of the park.
