You typically need the owner’s written consent for pavingEven if you have the right to use and maintain the roadway, paving is permanent and changes the condition of their land.

Student housing just hit roughly 95% occupancy for Fall 2025, while many conventional multifamily assets are still hovering under 90%.That’s a pretty wild gap when you think about it.Even with higher rates and tighter lending conditions, demand for quality, campus-adjacent housing hasn’t slowed down.

The rent will really depend on the condition of the propety and the time of year.

Examine the condition of the apartment, Google the tenants and make sure you have scans of the last six months of rent payments. 

The leases I use (ezLandlordForms) have a section about it and I attach a Winter Weather Addendum.

Double-check the rent assumptions$1,500 for the downstairs long-term unit sounds reasonable depending on condition and comps.$800 for a Padsplit-style room is solid, but remember you’re effectively running a rooming-house model upstairs — more turnovers, more wear-and-tear, more management.

September and October are the absolute best months (weather wise) in San Diego and our occupancy is 12%.

You can start by comparing recent sales of homes with similar house size and condition, but with varying lot sizes, to get a rough sense of what buyers are actually paying for the extra land.In your case, with a half-acre lot surrounded by larger ones, I’d suggest being conservative with your ARV estimate, maybe trimming it slightly unless you see clear evidence that lot size hasn’t mattered in recent sales.

@Brandi Smith, Here is a decent one from oklahoma.govhttps://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/ok/en/orec/documents/contra...It has a section for additional conditions so be sure to add anything specific to your propertyBe Well!

I first review the sales and/or rent comps, next I review the property condition or get an estimated rehab budget, then I review any other costs such as eviction or liens, and finally I set myself a max offer price.
