@Adrienne Green That's awesome to hear! I am an out of state investor doing my first deal so although the numbers look good, the bit of extra positive vibes helps keep the newbie nerves at bay!

@Ronald Rohde Thanks Ronald! Definitely a good idea to price the rooms differently. I plan to lease for full year. Do you have any insight for leaning one way or the other? 

@Dave Poeppelmeier That's great advice thanks! I didn't think of the peer pressure but I think that makes a lot of sense. I was just concerned about not being able to fill with 3 tenants that know each others. It seems like if I can get a group of 3 together that it is the best way to go. Thanks!

@Adrienne Green Thank you! I like that idea of including cleaning. Purchasing in Cleveland at Lee University. Do you have any experience with that school or the students?

@Alex Uman Appreciate the info! I had same thoughts about restrictions with school. I have a call planned with them to discuss options. I was thinking it would be easier to charge a little more and take care of utilities and lawn care and make it as similar to all inclusive dorm experience as possible.

Hi! I am in the middle of purchasing a 3/2 SFH in Tennessee about a half mile from a university. I want to try to increase rental income by renting room by room.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.

If so, does if it makes other things more difficult like utilities, lawn care, common areas?

Lastly, has anyone worked directly with the university housing office to market the property or get on an approved list of off campus options?

Thanks in advance!
