You can buy and rent when a market is headed up a bit, just like a business or a stock that you sell before a market starts to fall.Buy and hold investing is a term that does not make good business sense.

It certainly is a head-scratcher, and something you want to get familiar with before you start screening applicants.  

Looks like some may have to head for off-campus housing.

I am guessing that your rent is substantial in your area, so $50 probably isn't worth your time chasing.

@Ryan J Wenrich I really appreciate that Ryan, I’ll definitely head over there and check them out!

That thought (what you just covered) did go through my head.

I guess I need to head over and switch it out.

The difference in value can be substantial but the only real way to know is to simultaneously list a property as a combined sale and as separate sales and be careful about what offers are accepted as its the last chance to choose one method.

People are looking for change, not a ton of rentals available and I'd wager things will stay steady as we head into the summer.If you're willing to take such a large discount to fill vacancy do some math and find a lower monthly price to really set yourself apart as a plan b.What I wouldn't want is a tenant who can't pay rent feel like there stuck in your unit because they can't afford to pay a penalty.

Currently no mortgage on either (I own them free and clear) and both in great shape (we were fortunate to be the beneficiaries to substantial grants that allowed for new roofs, furnaces, upgrades, etc, in 2017).
