Don't rely on photos or google street view.Understand that you will have losers.

I own no rentals in Oregon anymore so does not affect me and we only work in the owner occ space. so to some extent I think as rents rise more will get the light that renting is a dead end street and they need to buy new homes from ME  lol.

In addition at those price points in major MSA areas  it could simply be one is on a better street.. or a few blocks over or a different school.. or their is a corner liquor store right across the street from the one with less rent.. all sorts of reasons.

Shoot I was one myself ) this building will be 1 block away and cross the street from campus with all the bars and restaurants  the other new complex do have pool but I think the distance and little cheaper rent than other new building. will attract students more  2  the old buildings around it  all have evaporated cooling ( which sucks bad on really hot days down here )  our will have central Ac  3  I was thinking of building a gated capmlex  to give them little something different 4  will have  washer and dryers  on site ( coin operated )5 will have masters bedroom set up  each person has his/ her own bathroom  6 if there is room left on the lot we can put little shade stricter and build it grills  Around us  1 bed room renting $450-500  2 bedroom  $685   In the old building  I was thinking of renting 2 bedroom -735    And 3 bed room  for 850    1 bedroom for $535  Project cost with lot will be about $1.2 -1.4    20 units will average at 680 a month $13,600 a month gross

Similar to buying a six pack vs a 12 pack, the 12 pack per can price is cheaper than the 6 pack per can price (quantity discount) and real estate is no different.It is important to build something that will fit the area and of most other homes are under 2000 SF in that area and on that street, you would be ill advised to build a 4000 SF home on that street.

Hey I saw your sign on the street, can you tell me a little bit how the process works".Did you know that we do not send out a singe mailer, or that we do NOT put any bandit signs out?

There is a creek that runs the boundary of the property in the back, and green space across the street.

Things can change in many cities street by street...especially in Indy.
