I'd like it calculated conservatively with realistic vacancy and rents and a fair amount towards maintenance and property management.
I recently looked into buying some condos at BYU.....south of campus.....go into it with another person and buy 4 of them. I was shocked at how low the rents are there. Seems like it would take a decade for enough appreciation to allow you to refi with any significant equity. Didnt seem worth it so we backed out.

Is there a better area in provo to consider?
