Student Rental Strategy- Creating relationships in colleges

[Kyle Curtin]

Hi everyone!

I have a 3 family property that I owner occupy 9 minutes away from a big college in Massachusetts. I recently dug deeper into the student rental strategy and am going to give it a shot for one of my vacant units.

Coincidentally I am reading the book “Who Not How” (Gamechanging read!) and am looking for a “who” within the college to create a relationship with to be able find me groups of students searching for housing nearby and give them an opportunity for a clean & suitable experience that is not too pricey compared to the room and board rates.

The “who’s” that came to mind were coaches (heard this from a bp podcast), guidance counselors, & maybe directors of different departments, and I was going to use the website’s staff directory as well as leveraging relationships with past students to try to make introductions.

Has anyone done this? Who do you feel could be a good fit to create this relationship with?

Thank you so much!!
