Student Housing
Hello to all;
I'm a newbie to BP. I'm expanding my portfolio to holdings of real-estate. I have had several years of experience in student housing (the paying side). Would like to hear from those who deal in this niche and learn a few tricks of the trade to be better successful. Tibit: my son will be one of the renters with 6 other ROTC cadets. So I'm trying to create an all inclusive price..good idea? I'm located in the NE
Any info you can pass along would help me become more successful, I appreciate it.
Thanks so much
Vince

Student housing 2-4 times the rent. A buddy controls 130 beds she told me...
Utilities, cable, internet are included
Keep them out of the basement
She has someone clean the common areas 2 x a month she can document any damage during the cleaning
Solid contract she has the parents guarantee
No locks on the bedroom doors
Auto deduct means she can reconcile 130 rents every month in 5 minutes
