The rental market currently is very strong in both areas and the prices have appreciated a lot in the last couple of years.

I would strongly recommend you get a professional opinion on this.

@Ross Dailey I’m an ABQ investor (not I’m student housing) but from what I’ve heard there is a strong demand in student housing especially around the university.

But as long as you have a strong mindset and taking action, good things will keep coming your way.

If not, I strongly encourage you to do so.  

There is still a lot of liquidity in the market and investor purchasing power seems to be strong as well.

I strongly disagree with this model and made me think of this post in case that was a thought.Here's why the PPSF model doesn't work:Taking the medium PPSF only works if there is an even number of like properties.  

Some investors would rather have a good turnkey multi if the intent is to hold for a long time if they are not in the mood to do all the fixes and want a strong asset with a little less cash flow upfront.

I prefer to try to avoid locations on those list, and focus on other areas with strong appreciation, so I can have appreciation, positive cash flow, and not be quite as frustrated during the process.

We have a strong STR market here in Montgomery Alabama.
