Buying vacant college rental units after start of school year?

[Andy Brown]

Looking at a vacant 6 unit that is in ideal location for renting to students from the local liberal arts college. In light of the deal not closing until Sept/Oct, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how to try and rent it out. Try to find stray college students mid-term? Find miscellaneous tenants through July and then non-renew? Keep vacant and fill with students as able? Curious if anyone has encountered this. Thanks!
