(Make sure you are including your closing costs on purchase and sale to compute.) 5% vacancy is probably unrealistically low unless there are long-term tenants (which often means the rents are below-market).

Department of Education “have forced us to cease” operations.ITT was hit hard Aug. 25 by the education department’s mandate, which was made after ITT fell out of compliance with its accreditor’s standards and “put its students and millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded federal student aid at risk,” the department said.ITT last year received 79 percent of its cash receipts from the federal student loan program.The department also placed several other sanctions on ITT, including a freeze on executive compensation and an order that it increase its surety funds from $94.4 million to $247.3 million within the next 30 days.The company said Tuesday that it “exhausted the exploration of alternatives,” which included transferring the schools to a non-profit or public institution."
