The property is close to a college and has many things that are attractive around it however it is going to take about $10,000 to fix it up. 4k is all I have left in savings at the moment also 😅.

Is it paying for the kids college or having a nicer retirement?

On a more serious note, try showing her the value your family can get with the new property (savings for college, bigger home, vacation, something the two of you (i.e. her) always wanted, etc.). 

Alabaster has brand new school that looks like a small college.

I'm already at the 25-year-veteran point of my (post-college) career! 

(you and your family get to have privacy and the resident of Unit 2 will probably be more stable cash flow than the summer doldrums of college students).3.

Without exaggeration every time i advertise a unit I get worked over by ESAs and most are college students.

I am looking to attract professionals of the medical community and or college students. 

I love the creative possibilities and options in college towns.

I know I live in a very unique MTR environment with more universities within walking distance of all of my properties than anyone else on this continent, but I do want to add to the list of potential tenants, visiting scholars.If your property is near a university or college, visiting scholars are also potential tenants for fully furnished MTRs.
