I don’t want to step on the property manager’s toes, but there are some methods I’ve picked up along the way that I think work better than your average renting style and I would like to keep using them when finding tenants and maximizing rental income.

Be sure to note that just because a neighborhood checks those demo boxes doesn't mean it’s a good place to invest (this is also highly dependent on your investment style) So, understand the demos then take a more quantitative approach.

I’m guessing that they are notifying you that the style of fund you were in is now being replaced with those 2 options.

I would not bank on a Great Recession style collapse and I doubt very, very, very highly that Ken is.

If student housing is your goal, simply know you'll have more leverage for negotiations on price in August/September, though the trade off is significantly less renter pool.I believe it is a newer complex with pretty standard hotel style white interior.

Find something you like and simulate the same style with your selections as close as you can.

Others like to borrow as little as possible for peace of mind of not owing anything on their investments.You'll need to answer for yourself what is your investment style and how much risk are you willing to take on.Ensure you run your numbers well and conservatively. 

AND I loved the style!
