Rent to students - the pros and cons

Have a line from John Belushi character in the movie Animal House, amounted in 1978 over the objections of many owners when it comes to renting to students: Food Fight!

If it is true, the student can be difficult for residential buildings, many of the concerns that people are exaggerated. Of course, the students can be demanding guests, but the disadvantages are often characterized by the fact that students provide an important reservoir of potential tenants who pay top-dollar balance. Consider the storySteve Miller, a real estate investor who has opted to students at the State University of New York at Cobleskill take, because "the rent for students who are profitable."

Like a consistent work to bring the potential for increased wear with the promise of a higher rent? The fat cats on Wall Street called risk management. I call it common sense.

1. Ask for a guarantee

Forget about running a credit report by college students. In all likelihood, will not have a credit history of myat. Instead, a parent signs the lease as a guarantor have so-called co-sign and execute the credit relationship with mother or father instead.

2. Collect a deposit of more

The students are not in themselves bad, but many of them cause more damage than normal. This is why many landlords rent a deposit of more security - one or even two months - and demand when it comes to college students. But be careful. Some states limit the amount of deposit you can collect, so you know,Rules.

3. Stop by a visit

Most leases have a provision that the owner or his agent to check a property for rent for the duration of the contract, but many owners do not enjoy. This may be a mistake, especially when it comes to college students. No need to put the white gloves with you, but on a regular basis will help you identify problems early, without your tenants honest.

4. First Aid

When studentspay more rent, it can be hard work, I think the parties and by telephone late at night to the police. Before you sign the lease, take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are ready for the challenge. Apart from helping at a local administrator to always check. Although it may take up to 10 percent of the rent can be useful, especially for owners who live outside the city for its weight in gold.
