I understand the hesitancy to lease to students but vacancy is so low, that if you can handle a few headaches, it's worth it. 

Hi Laura, I just went into contract on a 4/2 in Sherman that is already tenant leased. 

If this is simply you not wanting to accept partial payments and the rent is current, stop accepting it - and send a Lease Violation/Notice of Quit for Non-Payment of Rent - and force the full rent to be paid per the lease or start eviction.  

I met with Wicked Smart today and was told they help you set up a lead sourcing system, help you structure creative financing - which is essentially lease option/purchase, subject to and owner financing....all strategies I am interested in learning more about.

To answer your question, if the home is priced at market rent, we are seeing our rentals lease out in 25 days.

Not accepting lease violations3.

Most institutional DSCR lenders prefer one lease per property/unit, however, I've seen programs allowing rent by room strategies.

That said most folks have price targets and if large complexes are conceding 1 or 2 months on the 1st year lease, itll put downward pressure on your rent to some degree. 

Now we are mostly scaling our business with larger communities but I've used many different creative finance strategies including seller finance, private lending, hard-money, collateral from other properties, and lease-options. 

Two tenants leased the 2BD/1BA, and the studio ran on short-term rentals.
