I also have my rentals in an LLC, so I’m not sure if that matters or not.

There can be a lot of locked up value in them, but very difficult for a new out of state investor to manage.....even for an experienced out of state investor for that matter.  

Sell them off market for half price on Zillow Craigslist and other online resources .

@Ryenell Simon I'm a newbie so I haven't gotten that far yet 😊 But to my knowledge you can pull up one of your local title companies online and register with them for an account.

The move toward consolidating campuses, hybridizing 2- and 4-year schools, delivering educational content online are all going to eat away at residential enrollments. 

Doing a high-quality maintenance job by myself for a fraction of what I know I would have to pay a local tradesman (whom I am also sure would do an inferior job, sometimes an unsound job, as a matter of course to maximize his profit and minimize his time expenditure) also gives me immense satisfaction.Finally, I live in a city where outdated yet sound properties in passable locations can be had for very little money, fixed up for minimal cash outlay (as long as you do it yourself), and rented for competitive rates. 

It is 4 sides masonry, if that matters.

For example, if the average occupancy of 1970s built properties in the sub market is 90%, you shouldn’t expect your 1970s built property to sustain 95% unless rents are below market—no matter how good of an operator the syndicator claims to be.

It seems the vast majority of information online is geared towards the investor.

I have about 70 units coming online in the next month and wanted to know if anyone has sent out mailers/postcards to surrounding/similar complexes to try and get some of their tenants.
