Hello All, I’m interested in hearing some ideas that you or investors you know use to increase renewal rates with students in rental properties.I work for a student housing investor who rents to ~400 students, and with the enrollment slightly down at the school and increased competition we are brainstorming ideas to have students stay in our properties for multiple years in college.Our properties are newer construction and ahead of the curve in regards to competition, so apartment upgrades don’t give us as much pull as others would.

Hi,I am a Texas Tech student studying in finance and accounting.

If you're serving university students, it's best to make sure a mobile home this old would be something they're interested in renting.

I own RE so yes its against my self interest but im a buy n holder.I hear auto loans are getting out of hand too.We already know student loans are way out of hand.i think cc debt equals levels seen just before last crash.

Looking for the best way to finance single family houses as college student rentals. 20-25% down payment is no problem, but my lender seems set on doing a commercial loan - shorter term, higher rate, much higher monthly payments, and scary balloon due after X number of years. 

I've been doing some research and found out about Student housing and it really caught my eye.

It is the result you define in the lease I would not worry about how they do it Although you could put the tenant is solely responsible for acquisition and maintenance of equipment needed to maintain the premises in accordance with this provision.I don't provide lawn mowers but students get snow shovels.

. , I see, with the dental school student loans you have a deep hole (but as my daughter says (MD), you have a pretty big shovel with which to dig.)Your devotion, discipline and delayed gratification will serve you well.

We know will not be renewing the lease (which expires May 31) because we purchased it for our son, a UD student, to live in with tenants/friends of his choice so we will be in control next year.

I've been examining slightly distressed properties, with the hope of performing a good amount of renovations on the property to get a higher ARV.However, I'm a college student with little knowledge of the cost of maintenance/repairs on a home.
