This is because we were not even hitting 20% occupancy in the school year months.

I assume it must be pretty pricey if they won't even advertise the subscription cost. 

I know that can be stressful even when Uncle Sam isn't the one calling the shots. 

Definitely recommend utilizing FF, Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays), Facebook, Zillow, and even Craigslist to find tenants. 

Should I buy this multi family here in NE even though I'm looking to move out of state?

.- My own and from other folks; I hear of no wave or even a trickle of sub to purchases!!!   

In order for me, the seller, to assume the risk of you not qualifying for the loan, you losing your job at the last minute, you changing your mind, etc, I'd want a higher offer price - which means you're bringing even more money to the table.The idea of an assumable loan is awesome, but frequently does not pan out.

But, even that area has some spots that are not so great.

I would also not keep the cameras when a tenant moves in, not sure if that's allowed but even if it is that would be weird and scare off people.
