Default Re: Investing in Rental Property

Benefits of college student are higher rents and hight turnover. Higher turnover allows for more dramatic rent increases, but could also mean more prep work to unit each time it is re-rented and possible rental commissions.

College students rents around Boston have always been high and have been the best investment vs. Section 8. Boston is unique though and this opposite would be true in the greater metro-Boston area.

College students can rent a 5+ bedroom house, where most families can't afford such a property or wouldn't want to live in a student neighborhood.

College students tend to have a parental co-signer and are willing to pay last month's rent and a security deposit.
