Remember to check and see if you need to obtain a rental occupancy permit in Northern Virginia. 

This is due to a few factors, one is the college (VCU) students have their parents come in and buy up the Duplex’s and Triplexes paying too much and driving up the price.

Some examples:--Contact township regarding permitting process--Meeting with attorney to draft rental agreement--Contract with construction company that covers scope of work and timelines--Turning on utilities!

Search on Bigger Pockets for contact info, etc.My only association with it is that I plan on attending it, schedule permitting. 

Just got out of a long term college town nightmare in Auburn, AL.

The current owner built the second home in 2009 and has proof of inspection and permits from the city for everything.  

I am a dad and contract technical writer taking my family's first steps into REI.After reviewing several options, my wife agrees that buy and hold real estate in our community looks to be the best investment we can make for our children's college fund.

I wouldn’t live there, but the area is safe enough that college students and families live there.

It's a tiny town, but, I was lucky enough to get noticed by a scout and play college football for four years.

When is the typical time of year that college students sign leases for home rentals?
