Whether you have a second property that you’re going to move into or you’re planning on being away from your dwelling place for a while, you may be considering putting your home on the market in order to boost your financial outlook. While students comprise one demographic that is always entering the rental market to scoop up available properties, here are some things you may want to consider before deciding on a younger renter.
Will Your Home Be Rented Consistently?
Many students will require a place to rent out since most of them don’t have the money savings or stable income to purchase a home, but if you’re doing this to make ends meet on your properties, renting to student may not be the best way. While some students may plan on hanging out over the summer, there are those who will be heading home in order to live with their parents and save money for the Autumn semester. A contract’s a contract, but a renter can always flee the coop if it’s inconvenient.
Will They Take Good Care Of Your Home?
From furniture to family mementos, most people’s home is pretty personal to them, and that’s why it can be of supreme importance to have a renter that will respect your home and take good care of it in your absence. While there are plenty of responsible students in the world, you should ensure before settling on anyone that it’s someone you really trust who won’t damage your house or wake up the neighbors every Saturday evening.
What Rental Price Are You Looking For?
If you’re trying to make financial ends meet with your property, you’ll probably want to charge the maximum amount you can while still having a renter in your home. The risk with students is that they may not be able to pay the dollar amount you’re looking for so that you can effectively maximize your investment. While this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re taking the financial brunt, it’s important to get the monthly amount that your living space can garner on the market.
There can be a number of downfalls when it comes to renting to students, but there’s also the possibility that you’ll have a responsible renter who will stick around for more than a couple seasons. If you’re currently on the market for a second home, please contact me for more information.

This property has it all! Uber low electric payments due to the paid-for leased solar system, even considering the variable-speed pump on the gorgeous pebble-tec pool and comfortable square footage of the home. Mountain views from the peaceful and serene backyard, and a north/south exposure to further add to the tranquility of this corner cul-de-sac lot. This very popular floor plan secludes the master bedroom from the other bedrooms, yet the chef can participate with guests in the living room while being a great host. Fresh coat of interior paint from floor to ceiling! The front metal security screen and cul-de-sac location makes for cool evening breezes. Close enough to walk the kids to school and parks, far enough away to not hear the noise. Perfect location, ideal home!
