@Whitney Robert CaldwellSchools might be closed during the fall semester, so you might have go with market tenants which is fineIt is more about the deal itself then the timing.There will be tenants.A good deal is always a good deal.Look at the numbers, if it is tight and not gonna give you any cushion when things go south, it means it is not a great deal, you can skip it.

In law school, could be a semester course. 

My six unit property is near a large research university and most of the tenants are faculty/staff/grad students, so I need to make sure the leases end mid-summer or around Dec. 31 or else it can be more difficult leasing a unit mid-semester.

To quickly discuss my situation, I am in my final semester of college lacking the proof of income to qualify for a loan.

You don't want to put the listing up in the middle of a semester, unless you are prepared to not rent it until that next semester begins. 

Can you collect rent like a college (beginning of each semester) or does it have to be monthly.If I have any more that come to mind, I will post or shoot you a message.

I would consider my debt from undergrad low -$19k and I have been working hard not to pull out loans for grad school, which would cost me another $15k for the semesters I have left.

Since we're closing in January, the buildings might not be occupied until August for fall semester. 2.

December/January is a good time because it is between semesters for kids in school.

I am coming up on my last semester of college, but am interning (paid) with a Big 4 accounting firm for this semester and will not really be taking classes.
