My oldest daughter left FSU in March but still had to pay the remainder of her lease through the summer.I wonder if some owners are worried about this upcoming school year and unloading part of their portfolio to prepare for the uncertainty ahead.My experience has been as follows:-100% rent payment for March, April, May, June, July for ~160 students.-99% leased for next year (100% at this time last year). 

I recently cashed out of a startup and working on a new venture.

For quick sale we are prepared to sell at the 1% rule of current rents and will consider owner financing with 20% down (30 year @ 7% w/ a balloon between 3-7 yrs). 

I received the following email today.Good Afternoon,Be prepared!

Good luck on your venture.
