Short term rental in New Haven, CT

[Shrideep Murthy]

Hello, 
Does anyone have any experience in short term rental in New Haven in Connecticut? I am looking at a purchase in the Amity area in New haven. Yale University should have a lot of seasonal programs (commencements, games, etc) which could mean parents of students visit from outside and need a single family home to stay. This might make this a good opportunity. I am wondering if anyone has explored this thesis before me and what their experience has been? 

Would also be happy to hear from investors who are renting out in New Haven. 
Thanks!

Have run about 6 STR's in Greater New Haven since 2017, as you mention, there are times when the demand is strong (usually in May @ graduation time and July, or August). Some Cities like West Haven do have restrictions on STR's and others handle the restrictions in a different way; such as 3 or 4 maximum number of unrelated people in a home. Read those zoning rules...don't rely on agents.
