Nice properties are greatly valued over neglected properties.

Other general observations about student rentals (not specific to Tally):Nice thing is you can get parents to sign off as co-signors.    

Wow, that's pretty nice.

My advice is learn your area, learn all the condo names, and maybe all the developers.

It'd be nice to be able to assign the lease but most sellers want to vet who is running their collateral so they won't go for that.

Nice to meet you all and I look forward to spending more time here.All The Best,Carl Costa

I understand what it takes to work hard, sow all day / night and wait for the fruits of the tree to develop before one can reap.  

The more property we buy, the more monthly income, and more forced appreciation we can create with sweat equity, and our paper net worth increases nicely as well. 

Nice to hear a success story and to hear somebody owning up to verbal commitments even if they might not have been legally obligated to do so.  

Look at the managers for both sectors; look at the amount of work that you will be doing- pick the option that allows you to learn as much as possible and develop your skills as a real estate professional (the job/manager that is fun might not be the best for you to grow).
