And while those students/faculty aren't staying in your STR, their parents are when they come to visit year round.

I do have some suggestions for making the most of your student rentals that may help.There are a few different types of renters college towns can provide;-Typical ‘in session’ student renters- Year round student renters (usually those out of state or from abroad, or university/residency renters)- Faculty/staff renters Your typical ‘in session’ renters are going to make up the bulk of your tenants in most cases, and this can be a pretty ideal scenario.

I'm thinking best time to do that may be after you finish University and you and your friends have finished living and partying there.What faculty are you going into?

They run an organization that buys empty land, leverages students studying surveying and architecture to create the plans, and then build a house that they use for faculty housing.

My girlfriend is a senior at Marist College and has shown me multiple letters to faculty and staff from the president laying out these plans, and they have already begun raising money through alumni, the board of trustees, and grants.

Most faculty and students are part of the church and will not tear the place up.Also nearby are the San Bernardino Mountain communities--Crestline (local County lake for non-motorized boats, recreation and swimming, forest and hiking trails such as to heart rock) , Lake Arrowhead (private lake, allows boats, -make sure the lot has lake membership, some tv stars have vacation homes around here), Running Springs (closest to Snow Valley for skiing), Big Bear (Lake and close to skiing, but more expensive property). 

If your units are super beautiful - target faculty and other university staff

@Sarah Lorenz @Zech StimsonI, too, would love to hear more about your conversations you have with your professors and other faculty. 

It's obvious that most people don't read, and the emails they write, and their overall poor comprehension is a testament to the fact that they have spent no time or effort in developing those faculties. 

They wanted to sell the house and had it on the market for years while renting it to faculty from the nearby university.
