I was if there was a good website or you had any tips to understand the concept of finding and analyzing a great property near the campus.

Any tips to how I should start?

Any tips or suggestions on patience vs taking action? 

Thanks again for the tips and the videos.

So unless you're going to call and say "hello, I would like to put 25.09% down on a home purchase," the terms/fees/apr/etc advertised aren't applicable to you and need not be honored (it goes without saying that "Joe Consumer" isn't going to click on "legal disclosures" in size 5 font at the bottom to read the below snip, so "Joe Consumer" would never know that 25.09% is the magic code to get what was advertised).I could go on, but basically there's no way to advertise rates online and be honest about it.

In our experience 50 units seems to be the tipping point where you may need someone on site. 

What pro tips can you suggest?
