We hope to finish and have them ready to rent by the start of fall semester in August 2020.

I spent 6 weeks of last fall semester feeling suicidal.

Unfortunately it costs $6,000 a semester just for tuition every semester.  

In fact, many of them require one or multiple semesters in a higher education course to truly grasp the subjects.This isn't to say that you can't learn the basics in a couple days, or even learn some tips and tricks to help you get some deals done.

from my experience in renting apartments from landlords kind of depends on where your place is located. right now I live in a college community and they do semester deals. when I was in vernal UT it was an oilfield community and they usually did 6 months to a year with a high deposit.

I do see how this idea could be abused though, and that it still may be unwise to suck up a great deal of your passive income to pay for a flashy car every month.I'm a senior at VCU wrapping up my last semester, and all I have at the moment is an adequate emergency fund and a small investment portfolio.  

I wouldn't worry much in another town but this town is a college town and now that the semester has started it can be 10 months until the renters start looking again!

I forgot to mention I still have another semester in college, a time which I will not be able to save.

My undergrad even collected the whole semester when the refund check came in!

If this were the end of August and the semester was breathing down your neck, that would be a different story.So I would pass now and double down on advertising.
