FinishesIf you are house hacking a one unit by the room with strangers find out what you value most.If it is money then be all over your comps and push to top of market.If apprehensive about living with strangers then be slightly below market so you can have pick of the litter.Go too far below market and you will likely attract the wrong tenants and have too many people to screen. 

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

The people, the guests, are coming to your unit mainly for the attractions of the location and for a place to sleep.

(Once I clicked on the link to share here I don't remember which one I used)I am having to ask under asking price to get the price I mention, in order to make the numbers attractive to me.

Adidas, Gucci, SnoopDogg are already in there, I think this is really happening but it won't attract all the generations to it, however it is attracting millennials and Gen Z.I think at this point there is very little information out there, the ones that are better informed are the ones making the big bucks, by the time that everybody realizes that this is multimillion "new" business, it will be too expensive to get it, just like many other trends.My very humble opinion.

I would use concrete, make them no less than 4 feet wide because there will not be much difference with the cost and they will be more attractive.

Are there other features that attract people to that area?

Dora, Sorrento, Mt Plymouth, and Apopka (previously rural out-of-the-way locations) all prime locations to live for those who work or commute to Orlando, Maitland, or the attractions.

Being very close to the university will always attract new renters. definitely a red flag as to why the rents are so low compared to the market rents in the area. after your due diligence and everything has checked out you can definitely start increasing rents to meet the market rents for this area. like you said business is businessI specialize in investment financing. if you're looking for a lender for this purchase or later down the road for a Cash out refinance message me.

I was pretty good at it, but the ROI in real estate is just as attractive, if not better.
