There are also a lot of apartment complexes offering free first month rent and even free furniture to fill their vacancies.

I've been looking at buying MF apartment complexes near campus here in Houston and it seems that either the Seller is not really wanting to sell (just testing the waters, seeing what the market is throwing out) or the Seller's expectation of price is too high (low low CAP).I know I should look at other city markets for student housing, but I haven't found too many listings (Brokers) who are in the student housing MF market.

Our complex's units are all valued the same, with the value representing a 46% percent increase over 2005.

I always introduce myself as the property manager to prospective tenants, but if they ask if I'm the owner, I tell them I'am.Living in the same complex as your tenants is a good way to start off and learn the business.

We focus on apartments of 100+ units, mobile home communities, senior (not assisted) complexes for partners and consulting services.

On the south side, there is another parking lot for an apartment complex.

Vernon,Generally, larger apartment complexes in my area will have a full time (40 hours per week) manager when the complex size reaches 150 to 200 units.

It can be simple or complex.

Unfortunately, nobody in a forum can really help you with something this serious, time sensitive, and as complex a legal matter as this might be.Good Luck!

Complex problems take time to remedy...plus, I'd think people on this forum would be perfectly happy for the crisis to continue for a bit...the more foreclosures out there, the more deals out there...
