I live out of the area so it’s harder for me to get my eyes on the exact situation. 

Some neighborhoods such as Fishtown, Northern Liberties and the surrounding areas are struggling with absorption because of an influx of new housing that was built over the course of the past few years.

Purchase price: $273,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $375,000 Purchased the property with a "subject to" agreement, did a cosmetic renovation, cleared outstanding condo dues, and resold the property.

It has one of the highest poverty rates in the country, declining population, and not much going for it.

From those of you who have done many rehabs, and are better at interior design than I am, I am curious what suggestions you may have for this kitchen?

I took a look at the listings on their website.Most of their inventory is 30+ min from the 'downtown' area.Seems like they charge $400 - $600 a bed in Dallas and Houston + a move-in fee to the guest.It would be interesting to know what their management fees are.You should be able to make money based on those numbers if they have a nice occupancy rate.I personally wouldn't rent from there because I prefer my own space but there are definitely people out there that like to save a couple hundred on rent or even enjoy having roommates(Company) around.Best of luck!

Just because you're renting to students, doesn't necessarily make it student housing in the eyes of an insurance company. 

I know lots of new investors can get taken advantage of like that and I'd love to avoid that. 

Have a salon with a water heater that was installed around three months ago, and the tenant has complained that it's having issues heating the water; I suspect it may be an electrical issue with the system. 

Another option that I know of that would cap you at 50% LTV.
