Custodians tend to get in the way and can slow things down.

@Ned CareyI tend to go by cap rate as a general rule of thumb and every single property on this portfolio exceeds a 12% cap.  

Gettin the 3 up front n knew it would take that much to even get it at a mive in basis n ut took every penny.I.had left over 7 grand n knew the whole time that he never intended for us to get the title n if we moved we wouldnt b able to take it with us.

We tend to get what we expect and if you are expecting more of the positive interaction with your current agent, then you will experience more of the same.  

But usually I wait a little bit and then refi them so the renter is in there first.People tend to get scared off by the hard money lender's points (my typical deal is 90 to 110k so my points are 4k) and/or the 12% interest.

Instead, it generally tends to set the upper limit of value, particularly in periods of rising costs, because it is reasonable to assume that an informed buyer will not pay more for the real estate than it would cost to reproduce a similar property.

I will make sure I check on the property... they tend to be the "I didn't want to bother you" type which can be good and bad.

Especially for bedrooms, since people tend to sleep better in darker rooms.

Around both campuses you tend to pay quite a bit more per unit.  

From my experience, college students also tend to not care as much about the condition of the houses, yet still pay high rental rates for the location.
