Property diligence checklist
What this decision turns on
Turnover costs, management fees, one- versus two-bedroom economics and future parent or investor demand should be in the underwriting model. The useful evidence is property- and plan-specific rather than a generic claim about the Georgia Tech market.
Review the evidence
What to compare before you act
Compare unit mix, management burden, leasing costs and the likely resale audience before relying on a projected return. Use the exact address, current documents, current costs and intended hold period instead of averages that hide building-level differences.
Review your costs
What can change the answer
A property with good current rent can still be a weak investment if operating friction or exit liquidity is poor. If the decision depends on lending, tax, legal, insurance, HOA or university rules, confirm that part with the responsible source before relying on it.
