Today, we’re talking about why you should consider renting to students at Colorado School of Mines.

Student Housing and Golden Property Management

In general, college and university students often get unfairly labeled as reckless partygoers. They’re assumed to be messy, poor, and irresponsible. This is rarely true, however, and we have found that most of today’s students have evolved from those stereotypes of the past. If you screen your tenants well, students are not a risk to your rental property.

The benefits of investing in student rentals are numerous:

  • You’ll consistently have a strong pool of tenants. Young adults will often go to schools like Colorado School of Mines, and they’ll always need a place to live. Vacancy in your rental will not be a problem.
  • Colorado School of Mines students tend to be very studious, have little time for recreation and spend a lot of hours studying. They are going for a degree that is hard to obtain.
  • Mines is one of the top colleges in the United States. It ranks 13 for the top salaries after graduation in the nation.
  • The rents in Golden are higher because of the student population. Most college students live with roommates. With three or four students contributing to rent instead of just one person renting the property, you have a little extra insurance when it comes to collecting higher rents on time.
  • The students at the School of Mines tend to be professional students. They have to have strong grades in high school to end up here. They include the top graduates from High Schools with a strong desire to achieve their goals.
