It may be beneficial because their would likely be a high demand seeing how the supply is so low, but on the flip side, I'm thinking there is no other multifamily properties because there isn't enough demand in the neighborhood.

I think it will rent quickly because it's a high demand area with very little rental inventory.

I believe there are fewer buyers out there and if you're one of them, you should ask for and demand more, and above all be careful.

Congrats on getting started in investing :-)  There are certainly lots of folks out there who have done well with student rentals.. if you haven't already, be sure to check out episode 220 of the BP podcast for a good discussion on the topic.I think you can do really well if you have a good understanding of the demand for student rentals for the given university, and especially if you have some confidence that your property would be appealing to other members of the community as well, in case you have any issues with renting to students. 

Prices are creeping up, and demand is variable.

@Goke Akingbade I hope I understand your question: I typical try to assess demand for the rentals in the area where that property is.

As I understand it, that's still entirely possible for most ARMs, so it doesn't really matter if you can weather the storm to pay your monthly mortgage if the bank comes along and demands the full mortgage be paid immediately.

Small multifamily 2-4 units are a totally different animal than commercial multifamily 5+ units.2-4 unit multifamily are valued the same as single family homes whereas 5+ units are valued on NOI and cap rate.Small multifamily your value is based on comps but a 5+ unit you can significantly raise value by increasing income.

What we want to do is identify and explain how quickly the private lending industry evolved and why some companies had a firm stop as of last week.In the hard money industry, the rates that are offered, coupled with leverage are a direct result of "supply and demand" of capital.

Yet, people are crying everywhere about their student loans and how they were duped into getting them and demanding relief.
