I care more about liens, judgements and collections than I do about a low credit scores for other reasons - which is often related to medical bills or student loans.

You'll either meet someone who does student rentals or someone who knows someone who does student rentals.

I have been presented a portfolio of student housing rentals by the owners.

So far I have two students, both 19.

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.

However, student rentals can be a bit more management-intensive.Market Prices: You’re right that homes can be pricey for their size.

@Nigel Girard a block from campus you are probably getting walking car less students.

Oh, I know exactly why - because you are lying to new students trying to show them that you have all these deals in your marketplace when you don't, that is why you aren't taking them down, to impress and keep new and existing students (the existing students I have seen in there are taking WAYYYYY too long to realize what is actually going on here).

Even if I just break even or make an extra couple grand a month, the real goal is to learn the business and put myself in a position to get better deals than what’s listed publicly.The best “grand slam” deals (deep discounts, strong cashflow potential) I’d keep for myself, especially in upstate NY where my dad already has experience with student rentals.

He's a struggling college student who needs this off his monthly payment.
