Hello, I am in the process of launching a company that handles the student housing for a small university within my city.

For most people, living in a studio is a temporary situation (maybe ideal for students...).

I have a situation that KEEPS arising and wondered if  I could get some feedback.. the apartments we rent have a huge student ratio, we are located next to a major university.. which is great.. we are at full capacity.. but I keep running into the problem of tenants having their parents come stay for 6 months at a time.. ( they travel from India mainly and want to see how the kids are doing and since its half way around the world they stay for long periods of time).. the problem I am having is 2 extra people residing in the apartment for upwards of 6 months.. they are sleeping in the living room.. which breaks the housing law of so many people per sleeping square footage.. they even call and ask to add them to lease so they can get health insurance while they are here.. help... its about 25% of the tenants who i am encountering this with.. and to put this is real life scenario.. the parents are here now.. and dont go back for 6 months so what to do with tenants who have them here already?????

Hi I'm 22 recent graduate, just started my career as an accountant, credit is in the 715-730s, no student loan.

For example, I could pay off a student loan which would cost me about 7 thousand but all that would free up on me on a monthly basis is $180.

Process the application that seems the most promising first.As far as students go...

I would think the steady flow of college students and employees at University of Florida would create a good environment for rentals. 

It has kept the crying phone calls away, and our deal flow from it has not suffered.

Ask questions that is what BP is here for but ask them before you tie up someones house not after.As I said I won't accept any offer that is all cash without a POF from a local bank--actual funds not some promise from a guru who as part of his marketing provides his students with a POF's.People make mistakes when they move to a new enterprise no doubt but that doesn't excuse not preparing. 

After taking the time to talk to or personally guide a respectable number of people in their twenties, I have come to find that firm, direct and accurate information can really adjust the reality of how real estate can be acquired and used to their best advantage starting with property that sets the tone for a much more profitable and rewarding future.Everyone understands the concept of paying rent, so to begin with a great opening question to our real estate student is, “How would you like to collect that rent as opposed to pay it!”
