Academic medicine doesn't pay great (top software engineers make more), but at least Stanford offers this affordability program to help ease the pain of buying.To qualify we need 10% down. 

@John HyreIt is a sticky point when you really break it down academically. 

Most of the academic research I've seen suggests that its becoming more and more of an option as a "starter home" that gets people out of apartment buildings.I'd be curious if you have heard/read something else.

<--- all of this is very academic coming from me because I've not had a bad tenants, I've just studied a lot about landlords in Ontario who have and made sure I didn't do what they did (non-professional, emotional, giving leeway and chances, not doing proper tenant screening, not setting expectations).

It’s a growing academic medical center with zero high-end housing nearby.Happy to answer all questions!

I have been a buy and hold investor since 2005 but this site is where I learned all things (academically) flipping wise.

The one side is listed for sale individually for $660k, and I found this posting on Loopnet: http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1550-1552-Perry-St-...I'm not really considering attempting to purchase it, but from an academic and market understanding viewpoint, I have to ask: Even with the crazy valuations and sales prices, is it worth this much? 

I work at a community college assisting students that are new, on academic probation, foster youth, and/ or those who simply need resources and guidance.

Having the academics in place is not enough. 

Stockton University will be opening it's Atlantic City campus this year which consists of a Residence building on the beach block, Academic building across the street and a shared garage with South Jersey Gas.
