Newell Zelarayan Renting out to college students
5 May 2023 | 11 replies
Here are a few things to keep in mind:Pros:Consistent demand: College students need housing and tend to rent year-round, which can provide landlords with a steady stream of income.High rental yields: College students are often willing to pay a premium for housing close to campus or with desirable amenities, which can lead to higher rental yields for landlords.Multiple tenants: Renting to college students can mean renting to multiple tenants at once, which can increase the potential for cash flow.Cons:High turnover: College students tend to move frequently, which can result in high turnover rates and additional costs associated with finding new tenants.Potential for property damage: College students may not have the same level of responsibility or experience as older renters, which can result in more wear and tear on the property or potential for property damage.Noise and disturbances: College students may be more likely to host parties or cause disturbances, which can lead to complaints from neighbors and potential legal issues.Ultimately, whether or not renting to college students is a good investment opportunity depends on a variety of factors, including the location of the property, the local rental market, and the landlord's level of experience and ability to manage potential issues that may arise.

There are lots of reasons for this: no down payment; no job history; unstable employment situation (frequent transfers, for example); does not want to maintain/rehab a home; wants to live in a nicer area than buying would allow; ETC.We have some older women who could afford to buy, but like being able to just call us if something goes wrong rather than hunt down their own repairman and pay the bill out of their pocket.
