StudentsMedical professionalsUniversity staffParents buying for students

Students and university staff may prioritize a predictable walk or transit trip over extra square footage. Parents purchasing for a student should compare total ownership costs with rent and review occupancy and rental rules carefully.

Investors should not rely on location alone. Confirm bylaws, current rents, vacancy assumptions, management quality and whether the corporation’s financial position supports the building.
