For example, a struggling property may have a very low going in cap-rate give but once stabilized the purchase price makes sense and you can deliver a strong IRR. 

It's not as huge a jump for them, they will struggle to find something comparable, if your market rent estimates are off you won't immediately lose a tenant, it sents an early expectation of firm but fair increases, and you will make good progress toward market rent. 

The going price seems to sit around 200-250k/unit (regardless of NOI), which given the limits of the rental market I am struggling to make the numbers work.

@Jobie DeVinney-Walsh,Terribly sorry about your recent struggles- I want to help.

I shouldn’t be managing my own propertiesThe last few months I have been struggling with what to do.

I'm just struggling between the idea of patience.

I'm struggling to find something that doesn't want me to pay several hundred a month.

After those first couple that struggle, we will have a new process and be off to the races. 

I would appreciate any advice on renting in a college community and struggles that people have faced with rentals in similar areas.

I struggle with the idea of spending more that $100 for a virtual conference.
