Anyone investing in a college town?
Post Body

I am finishing up school this year and will likely be moving to a somewhat expensive, college town. I plan on hopefully finding a duplex and house hacking within the first year of moving.

I know that student rentals are usually not the full year? How do you manage the extra vacancy? Potential damages? Ect? Iโ€™m thinking this could be a good niche, but am unfamiliar. Thank you

Personally I am not a big fan of being heavily vested in a college town. You are subject to their decisions , colleges are on the decline and it falls into niche investing. If you want to be a whale thatโ€™s different but for the average investor there is additional risk. If the college decides to build a new set of dorms or alter campus areas that shift where students want to live, you have to make sure you cash flow as a regular rental.
