Hi, I'm pretty new to Real Estate investing, and am looking for input on buying student housing.
From what I've seen, student apartments (specifically in the Auckland railway campus) offer rental returns that by far beat rental returns on houses. Are there any pitfalls to this? Is there a catch? The returns seem too good to be true.
I wouldn't expect capital gains to be on par with the rest of the real estate market, but at the same time I would think student apartments would still see some gains, and coupled with great rental returns it seems like a no risk proposition. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
