Hi Jack.I would purchase a 4 bedroom house near your campus as a primary occupancy house (put 5 percent down), furnish it, and rent it out to students by the bedroom (not the whole house)If you invest $10k in buying and rehabing it and charge students $500 a bedroom ($2k total), and your morgage payment is $700 a month, you have just returned over 100 percent on your 10K investment every year, not to mention the equity you are gaining.

They also have a furnished rental and are familiar with the laws and restrictions there.

Also, be very, very careful with any non-tenant staying there more than a day or two, because 'guest' can slide into 'legally protected squatter' alarmingly fast.For these reasons and others, I've become more interested in alternate renter pools - furnished bedrooms for travel nurses, professionals on temporary assignment, people with weekly gigs in Austin but who return to Houston on the weekends, etc.

Clunky, dark wood, and rustic furnishes are being traded for light and airy colors, fabrics, and materials.

I've seen a couple of options with multiple dwelling units on the land, so this could be an option.Megan - technically all six units are furnished short term rentals - length of stays vary.

She said she and her husband cashed out their financial investments and borrowed $100,000 from employers to furnish them.The 47-year-old expected to net up to $7,000 a month from Airbnb after mortgage payments, supplementing her income as a part-time pharmacist and her husband’s as a schoolteacher.

Hi Everyone, I am quite new here and helping my friend rent out her furnished condo in Phoenix. 

(As seen in another of our clients' deal diary.)I still think super small condos with low HOAs (they are rare, but we find them) can do well if you furnish and rent to traveling nurse types.

i have never dealt with this type of renter, esp.concerned as it is my own house (furnished)..?.

Maybe you can keep it furnished and rent it out for a higher monthly amount that way.
