@Kelly N. That timing would be ideal for sure but i wont be closing on the property until mid august and needs a few updates before i can get anyone in,  So im going to try and put it out there and see what kind of results i can get.  Thanks for your input and goodluck on the new properties!

@John Hyatt Awesome, that definitely helps me out a lot.  It's in an area between Notre Dame, Indiana University South Bend, Bethel, and few smaller schools so im glad to hear that finding renters is possible during the school year also.  Thanks!

@Account Closed Thats a great idea! i will have to try that out.  Year round sounds great to me.

Thanks for the input guys, i appreciate it.

@Account Closed Thanks for the insight.  I plan on renting out by the unit (each unit is 2 Bed / 1 Bath).  But renting by the room does sound interesting, do you manage your properties yourself or have a company for leasing and maintenance work?

Hello BP,  

I recently purchased my first duplex and will be renting it out.  The property is in a good area with universities surrounding it.  My question is will it be much harder to get renters starting in october of the school year versus august?  Has anyone else working in college markets had an issue like this?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Mark Nolan @Jeff Cooley @Linval T. 

Thanks for the replies everyone.  There definetly is a ton of great information on here.  I just got my first deal under contract  over the weekend and hope to be posting about it on here soon.
