College Directory

Colleges are a great place to buy a rental property. There is never a shortage of tenants! If your child is attending the college, why not let their house mates pay most of the mortgage?

Each college chip reads: Name · cap rate · OOS freshmen. The cap rate is the estimated annual net income as a percentage of purchase price for nearby properties — higher is better. The OOS freshmen count (out-of-state first-year students) is a proxy for rental demand: students from out of state are far more likely to need off-campus housing than local students living at home. Top-ranked schools tend to draw the most OOS students. Use the filters below to narrow by state, college size, or OOS count, then click any chip to explore nearby properties.
