Looking for Student Housing?

Tallahassee has great homes near Florida State University for sale and ready to occupy for the fall of 2011! Tired of looking at rentals? Rental prices are at a premium and time is running out for the arrival of the students to Tallahassee, FL.

I spent the last week looking for homes for families that prefer detached single family homes for their FSU students. Students often want larger spaces than apartments, dorms or rooming houses. Some students desire homes in quiet Tallahassee neighborhoods surrounding Tallahassee’s college town, midtown or even downtown areas. Roommates are fairly easy to find around the campus of Florida State University as students prepare for their arrival. Many have rooming plans that did not quite work out during enrollment, and there is a need for students to acquire housing. Roommate ads can be found on FSU’s student blackboards and posted around campus billboards.

Currently… here is a list of 101 homes for sale between $80,000 and $120,000 near FSU in Tallahassee. These are 32301, 32302, and 32303 zip codes. Want to search more specifically?

An Empty Nest is a great Investment!

A little gem of a listing is still on the market,just waiting for a parent of a student. Great home, neat, clean, new carpet, paint,appliances.. it’s amazing!  It’s near Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College,… and here’s a little about the home’s investment potential. (not to mention the fabulous peace of mind you could have!)

People! Let me break down a “Win-Win” for parents looking to send their kid to college and who think they want to purchase a home… or worse yet,.. rent for four years.

Option 1

Sales Price: $115,000

20% Down and a payment of $720/month Principle, Interest, Taxes and Insurance.

Rent $350/room ( yes that is low for Tallahassee, but let’s be conservative)

Profit: $330/month  ( you’ve just paid for your kids share,…..!)

So,.. You don’t have 20% Down…   Option 2:

Let’s go FHA, 3.5% Down

3.5% down and a payment of $900 month

3 kids, $350/month Rent

Profit: $150/month  – There’s the cable TV/Internet.

I love my job…. now someone needs to think like I think and we can celebrate you making money when it closes!  No loud music, no dirty laundry, no late night TV,.. their really in a great place… away from home!

Here’s the amazing house I am talking about 2108 Bullocks Run,.. and here’s another (should get $450/month for this one,..) at 2107 Old Bainbridge – even closer to FSU.
