Such as extended periods of vacancy between semesters...I have a MTR that is close to a university campus and my current tenants are students, but they also passed all the usual tenant screening in the same way that I've rented to other mid-term tenants in the past.

Purchase price: $99,000 Cash invested: $19,800 Sale price: $136,000 Upstairs/Downstairs split entry duplex in Cheney, WA, home of Eastern Washington University.

It also runs through Buena Vista and Elizabeth Park which are both different universes compared to Germantown. 

Hi there, I'm a current student at a local university.

I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Arizona and spent 4 years in the military prior to that.

Attention: all brick 8 Fam in Oxford, OH...just off campus of Miami University.

Home to The Ohio State University with nearly 60,000 students, 5 Fortune 500 companies, over +25% population change since 2000, and the 2016 smart city challenge award winner (https://www.columbus.gov/smartcity/).

Among U.S. cities, counties or metro areas for which regular data is available, Maricopa County holds one of the highest eviction rates, at 16 filings per 100 renter households during the past year, according to Eviction Lab, a research group at Princeton University that tracks evictions in 35 U.S. cities and 10 states.

It took awhile to catch on, and it was the likes of airbnb and VRBO that took this concept to a new level with global exposure. 

In terms of strong markets, I tend to look at major industries in an area (hospitals, universities, military, etc.) because I want a large tenant pool.
