When we got into the academic year cycle, we had a lot of university-related folks who wanted to be off campus, away from student housing.

For me, I have access to a few hundred dental students I can rent to who are academically elite, responsible young adults.  

Some people are looking for a furnished space for academic studies - very common if you're near a University.

Also, do you recommend only allowing 12 month leases for students, or are you willing to shorten the lease term and bump up the rent to cater to the academic calendar?  

I previously attended college for free until I lost my academic scholarship due to my grades during this semester.

It's once again the time of year where students are looking for homes for the academic year commencing in September (2016).We have two units being advertised at the moment (one is vacant, the other will be available in March).  

'07 - '09 were the first two (academic) years in medical school.

The academic answer:You can calculate your yearly return on equity as: Return on Equity = Cash Flow after PITI + Principal Paydown + Appreciation / Total Equityand theoretically, as long as your negative cash flow is smaller than that number (maybe minus appreciation if you don't want to be exposed to market shifts), you're actually making a positive return on investment yearly.The practical answer is to only accept negative cashflow when that amount doesn't directly impact your wellbeing and quality of life.

In my case, my academic background gives good advantage for evaluating installations on properties, both on prospecting and operating phase, as well as all the analytic fundamentals for all the calculations related with financial study/record.

I suppose ultimately once I get a deal, however I structure it I will have an attorney look it over but just getting to that point requires a bit of academic understanding so I can bs my way to a signature.
