we’re hoping we can get some suggestions on property development and acquisition for our Non-Profit.

If I jump to the end of this story first, I will tell you that at 7% interest and high market values, very little cash flows well when you take into consideration principle, interest taxes, insurance, and a $100 maintenance reserve… at least where I live in Florida - but we have really high insurance rates.  

If your properties are finished better then the competition and you are priced within the market rental price even at the high end you should do well.  

That you wisely build in the costs for replacement linens and towels (also offer black face towels), possibly don't use high-end top-down shades in the Bunk Room (although those black out shades match all the shades in the rest of the house and it's a high-end property), chalk can be brushed, semi-gloss on walls for easier clean-up... and yes, there are clear check-out directions to run the dishwasher provided via an online guest book, a physical guest book, and an email I send regarding check-out the day before they check-out.

Pulling theses lists from Propstream has worked well for us (Vacant, Liens, High Equity, Non Owner Occupied, etc). 

Maybe 2 pallets are very high end and other are middle of the road to low end.  

The first is University Square, high in diversity low in cost of living, and it is ideal for new families and young students that are just getting started.

For us it has had very little impact.

So congrats for taking this first step.I would highly suggest to start with Google searches.
