I had a favourite going in to this analysis but after doing this, I actually went with something that was not my favourite because it was frankly better for my business.Personally I settled on Buildium as it has a robust feature set, has a strong and very active roadmap (after acquisition by Real Page) and is Canadian friendly (for the most part).

The rental market currently is very strong in both areas and the prices have appreciated a lot in the last couple of years.

I would strongly recommend you get a professional opinion on this.

@Ross Dailey I’m an ABQ investor (not I’m student housing) but from what I’ve heard there is a strong demand in student housing especially around the university.

But as long as you have a strong mindset and taking action, good things will keep coming your way.

If not, I strongly encourage you to do so.  

There is still a lot of liquidity in the market and investor purchasing power seems to be strong as well.

I strongly disagree with this model and made me think of this post in case that was a thought.Here's why the PPSF model doesn't work:Taking the medium PPSF only works if there is an even number of like properties.  

Some investors would rather have a good turnkey multi if the intent is to hold for a long time if they are not in the mood to do all the fixes and want a strong asset with a little less cash flow upfront.

I prefer to try to avoid locations on those list, and focus on other areas with strong appreciation, so I can have appreciation, positive cash flow, and not be quite as frustrated during the process.
