Plus one of the top 2-3 largest universities in America, driving amazing medical research.

You CAN 1031 into a DST- but you have to be an accredited investor. 

That was at the time Quinnipiac University was growing rapidly and Hamden residents started renting out their homes to students.I wish you well with the rest of your studies and in the pursuit of a good house hack!

For me the big problem was that it was smack in the middle of Student Housing rental season , which here at the University of Toledo is February through May.

The other side of the duplex is an identical unit but it is not ready to rent yet.The best tenant prospect at this time are 3 young men who are recent university grads and will be on the lease for $900 per month total for one side of the duplex.

Right now the market around the university is great as far as SFH with MFH hard to come by unless you have money to convert a SFH.

There's no universal rule for this.

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.

There's so much educational stuff on here, BiggerPockets should be an accredited university. 

Are there any universities nearby?
