In my experience, most agents aren't going to be helpful here (some exceptions).You can ballpark these things after getting some data:Rent:  use the sites  you think you're future tenant will use to find you as a landlord (Zillow, Rent.com, a big property manager in your area, Craigslist) and look for similar places in similar neighborhoods.

Hi, I'm new to the BP site & looking to connect with like minded entrepreneurs.

Not knowing the details, it seems risky to bet on a pretty much single type of demographics - students.Thoughts?

That being said, I’ll bet you can still do it.

Have you considered looking up owners of buildings in your target area on the auditors site and cold calling them?

The difference has definitely been noteworthy, and I noticed it while it was happening without any site or study reporting it, so the reports essentially confirmed it for me.

Don't be fooled by the "pro", I already gained enough information from this site that I already felt like I had to give back before moving forward. 

You can also setup a site with the properties listed but don't give folks access without vetting them first.

I think if you have time, self-managing a vacation rental is probably your best bet, as far as getting both appreciation and cashflow.
