Rob K,I agree with you that college, as well as any major decision, should be considered carefully.

Can I borrow 400K against building and qualify for a residential mortgage for the other 300K with 100 K down.

But i was like FU*K THAT.

I agree with Shanequa J. and Rob K that these are going to be dumpy properties in not so good areas.

Sorry K.

Nik K, As someone who is just leaving college and has signed a few leases, I feel like I can offer some advice.1.

I have heard wonderful stories and big loss stories given the same circumstances.I am not certain Rob K is correct given the Kelo Supreme Court decision.

Another way to get pricing is to check home depot and loses, they have there prices displayed on the isles of what they charge for specific items, I have used that a a gauge of a markets pricing.
