So while the luxury market exists, the bread and butter here is still affordable housing that appeals to students, staff, and young families tied to the university.To me, this highlights how steady and resilient a college-town market can be — even with more inventory, prices are still pushing upward.Here’s my question for the community:For those of you who’ve invested near universities before — how does College Station compare to other college towns you’ve looked at?

It kinda annoyed me that they wouldn't even type emails for their tenants anymore (the staff was also SO unhelpful and mean, so this small thing just added to my annoyance). 

You can report them to moderators/staff and they will be dealt with. 

I just hope he doesn't get too big and pass me off to a staff member like all of these other large firms. 

So I have a staff member who such persons can call (NOT ME) to handle things like opening a ticket in the portal.

Inspections are usually handled by the property manager, though in larger companies they may be performed by other staff.

Once you have around 100 units, it becomes easier to manage with in-house staff and outside maintenance.

I cannot speak to the quality of the coaches but the sales staff seamed well trained.

Deferred maintenance, inadequate capital reserves, self management, “off the books” payment to employees/maintenance staff, free rental months to skew gross rental income, recording expenses to a different property, and recording of phantom income and phantom tenants makes me very suspicious of any financials provided by the seller.
