Definitely require a co-signer, normally it is the parent of the kid. This is pretty normal for college rentals.
As for the normal rental parameters, be sure to run the numbers to see that it will cash flow. If you need a property calculator you are welcome to a copy of mine, just direct message me.
—Nick: I have also gotten told to have a good co-sign and lease so that shouldn’t be to hard. I believe I’m in a great area to do so, I just need to get out there more and connect with people. Thanks Mitch!

—I’ve heard that as well is the places you rent out don’t necessarily have to be top of the line for the students but more or so maybe fix em up a little. I do know that within time it’ll get run down eventually.

Make sure you have a strong lease and a cosigner, and you'll probably do fine.
—That’s what I'm thinking, just get out there and see what I’m capable of doing! I also have heard that as well is as long as I have a good co-signer and lease I should be good. Thanks Chris!

Hello to the peoples of Biggerpockets! I moved to Tallahassee Florida about 2 years ago looking to get into renting out houses for college students and eventually go from there, but I’m not sure where to start considering I’m not yet acknowledgeable about certain things in the Real Estate business?
