Specifically, pricing it about 3% below average sale price (or estimated value) will bring direct buyer traffic and agent traffic.This doesn't mean you're SELLING for less, it just means you're listing it at a # that is enticing to prospective buyers.

My thought process is pretty straightforward — whichever deal pencils out better, that’s the one I’ll move forward with.Besides just college campuses, I’m also keeping my options open by looking into:Areas near hospitals (medical staff housing demand)Areas near other schoolsHigh-traffic or busy areas with steady rental demandFor those of you experienced with investing around college campuses:What has worked best for you when it comes to student tenants?

I was made aware this weekend by one of the investors on our Facebook group that Marco Santarelli on June 18th, 2024, held a "web seminar" again soliciting investors.

Get some traffic. 

Fire hydrants, water availability, electric, internet, road access, road traffic, road turn outs, zoning- normally not an issue in Texas countryside, storm pond or drains, internal road surfaces, etc.  

Now, instead of a ticking clock, I’m sitting on a solid lease with built-in rent growth and a building in a prime location with awesome traffic count.

@Juan Carlos Anzola Hey Juan Carlos, within 3 hours of Weston, your best STR markets right now are Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami (strong demand but higher entry cost), and Orlando/Kissimmee (theme park traffic, consistent bookings).

Finger Lakes is solid, too, with year-round winery/lake traffic, but land/build costs can be higher.

Something to consider is that while those rural vacation areas can cash flow, you might want to also look at larger cities like Columbus, Ohio, where STR demand is growing because of business travel, university traffic (Ohio State brings in 68k+ students plus tons of visitors), and big events tied to all the new development like Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda.
