Renting to college students

Hello All,

I am getting ready to list my first unit to students. I own a duplex near Ohio State and plan on renting the upper unit (4BD,1 Bath) for the fall semester. 

-Where do you find the best places to rent your units to college students? I am currently looking at Apartments.com, Zillow and FB marketplace.

-Do you have a separate application for them to apply? If so is there something specific added?

-How do get a co-signer on the lease? I am thinking that a parent or guardian would be required to help meet rental requirements? 

-Any tips or tricks to help this go as smooth as possible.

Thanks for all the help!

Facebook marketplace is a huge rental listing market for the Columbus area so just present it well and your unit should get filled!
