If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that it is enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

We have a fairly active REIA here that I highly reccomend attending.

Be keenly aware of fair housing laws.

There's a fair amount of young professionals as well as students from Southern CT State University that also add to the renter pool. 

They had major issues with lead times and hitting their deliveries which was annoying, but we have also experienced an issue with the large sliding window in our master bedroom (seems a seal exposure/draft issue) already within a year or so.So I won't be buying Crestline again, maybe not fair but that's my data point...

I am interested in campus housing right now as it seems to be fairly resession proof.

The deal seemed fair, I would net over $1,000 monthly, but the price seemed high for the properties.

I get that right now things are fairly stable, but couldn't one argue we are standing on a house of cards?

The outside of the house is in fair condition. 

Most of the homes are in very undesirable areas as well... so even renovating the homes may not make up for the equity problem as there isn't enough value add opportunity.Homes that are in fair areas (C or C-) may be able to break even with a rehab as we had one that was close.
