They have lost many employees and the level of service and quality has been dismal.

Its proximity to campus, turnkey condition, and rental history make it particularly appealing to investors seeking high cash flow and low vacancy risks.

There's a lot more competition than previous years, and prices are high.

@David LewisRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

That's where good people live, and good people make good tenants.But before you put money down on a house, I would find a quality property manager.

Quality over quantity for me. 

Could be a business decision based on keeping long-term high quality tenants rather than risk the costs on turnover. 

Better to have half a dozen high end paid for props that take very little work and not so much drama..

A few things that newer investors should note:- it took 13 years to get there, you have to be patient- rents are high at about $1,750, so probably a quality neighborhood- looks like that is after vacancies, probably low turnover?

Quality over quantity. that would be an interesting exercise for BP super computer who has the most votes to post ratio I bet Mike D is right at the top.. then on the inverse you would have the least votes for the most posts those would be those folks that just post the same thing over and over I suspect.
