This is our entire story, if you care to read, you can maybe understand my questions a little betterMy wife this week is finishing her last semester of pre-requisites so she can begin attending nursing school to get her BSN degree.

RE license, college education, mba (well...or least a semester :) ), etc.

I am entering a new semester with a pretty busy class schedule, and am a bit lost with where to start considering I have little to no advertising with my name around the area, and won't have much time to market myself. 

I left college after 3 semesters in order to start my own business and abandon the “college mentaily”.

If I wait until August before I am ready to rent, I will likely not find tenants until at least December when the next semester starts.I am new to this, so I am starting to feel a little anxiety and nervousness that I am making the right calls.

I was able to do undergraduate college by working for 8 months, and saving then going to college for 1 semester then back to work.

Typically college students can be on a 1 year lease and only live on campus (if they are local) from Late August to early December (semester 1) then late January to early May. 

Also, when you go to college they don't teach you for a semester and then tell you that if you want to learn more you need to pony up some more cash to continue.  

@Daniel Molina It's a specialty investment focus...running in very deliberate cycles based on the academic semesters...it can be highly lucrative, but it can also be a total nightmare without the right property manager...miss an advertising date for leasing units and you may be done for the season with 0 occupancy.There are a lot of nuances to think about...I have been in dozens of rooming houses like you mentioned...99% are not in compliance with basic standards like fire/safety (will your tenants die if there is a fire on the 3rd floor and no escape)...you may have zoning issues as well...occupancy limitations, etc.

I get 1 or 2 requests every year for housing for only a semester (fall or spring), but not enough to seriously consider it.
