Student Rentals
Well I'm new to this site. I've had a couple rental properties in the past and it was a hot and cold experience. Sold the rentals 7 or 8 years ago. Lost a little on one and made a little on the other. Anyway I am considering the possibility of getting back into the game. There are several Universities and Colleges in my area. My present thinking is to acquire Duplexes/Triplexes etc in these area and rent them out to students. Is there a certain term for this type of housing that I might be able to use to search for past posts. Anyone that would be familiar with these type of rentals that could offer any suggestions and or cautions please chime in.

I'm in Pittsburgh. I believe I've tried a search for the title " Student Rentals" and I came up empty. Maybe I'll try it again.
