Good and honest responses here will sound like this: You're right.

Good evening all.Wondering if anyone have a sample lease agreement for student rentals that I can use as a guide as I create my own.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Realistically I would reach out to a good real estate friendly CPA. 

There are always good & bad areas to invest in any market.

That's a good thing in my opinion.

Good communications. 

After swallowing some lumps thanks to one thread I posted back in April, I should (crossed fingers, no blown furnaces or sheard off roofs) be in a good position next year to reinvest.This is hopefully not a beat the dead horse, "where is the best cash flow in X" post, more of a strategy question for anyone who knows the market in CT.Here is what my limited knowledge/intuition tells me: Waterbury, Bridgeport, parts of Hartford cash flow best because of the inherent risk, lower fairfield county cash flows worst (today) because of NYC effect on price/rent, and there is an in-between SOMEWHERE.I think that somewhere is in the central part of the state between route 8 and 91 north of new haven, east of waterbury.

Good luck

A cap rate that high sounds good, but is often considered a beige flag.
