Pros & Cons Of Investing In Student Housing

Zackarias Aitchison

Student rentals make good buy-and-hold investments, or else people would've stopped buying them a long time ago.

But what are the pros and cons associated with a student housing investment compared to a traditional buy-and-hold investment where you're not renting exclusively to students?

Does student housing appreciate more/faster?

How likely is the horror story of tenants absolutely destroying their unit?

How do the vacancy rates compare? Is student housing easier to fill?

I'm curious to see what you have to say!

Cheers.
