Our market is extremely competitive for rentals and homes for sale  so I will be putting an ad on Marketplace, seeking an investor to purchase a property and lease to them, as they can pay up to 2500 for a 4 bedroom, and more for higher number of rooms. win/win. 

Seek a mentor and join organizations like DCREIA for educational resources.Good luck!

For investors seeking stability, flexibility, and reduced seasonal impact, these states are ideal.

This strategy ensures that these properties are protected by the liability protections you’re seeking

We market early in the spring semester for fall leases, show them often, seek referrals, etc.
