While in college, many students quickly get tired of living in a crowded and noisy dorm and decide to move into a rented apartment to have more privacy and freedom. At first glance, renting in college can seem like a good idea, and it really can be. But, at the same time, there are many related pitfalls that you must be aware of.

What are these pitfalls? Read on, and we will tell you about the top nine of them!

Renting Alone Isn’t Cheap

An average college student has to cover a huge number of expenses every year. This includes tuition and fees, academic services like WritePaper, tutors, books, food, and much more. Needless to say, their budgets are rather limited. So, often, young people can’t afford to cover additional expenses, which brings us to the first pitfall students must be aware of when renting – doing this on your own is expensive.

The cost of a dorm room can be anywhere between $8,000 and $13,000 per year. The average one-bedroom apartment rent is $1,129 per month or $13,548 per year, plus an additional $2,000 or so for utilities per year. As a result, the cost of a dorm is somewhat lower.

Finding Someone to Live With Isn’t Easy

While living on your own can be pretty expensive, living with a roommate(s) isn’t all that easy too. First of all, you need to know that finding someone to share your apartment with won’t be a simple task.

Mortgage rates took a sharp turn lower last week, just one day after the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate.

The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 5.22% on Thursday, down from 5.54% earlier in the week, shortly after the Fed announced another rate hike. Mortgage News Daily reported that the average rate fell even further on Friday, to 5.13%.

Rates had stayed more or less flat in the days running up to the Fed’s latest meeting, having come down from their most recent record high of just over 6% earlier in July.

The decline in the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage came on the heels of the Bureau of Economic Analysis’s latest gross domestic product report, which revealed that the U.S. economy had contracted for the second successive quarter. That is, notably, a widely accepted signal that the economy is in recession. The report found that the U.S. GDP fell 0.9% at an annualized pace for the period, according to the advance estimate. Economists had been expecting ever so slight growth of 0.3%.

The news of the economic contraction saw investors rush to the safety of the bond market, resulting in yields falling. Mortgage rates generally tend to follow the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond.

The rental market heavily favors landlords these days which means that it is a great time to see some big profits. Many landlords are making great money and are looking to keep the tap flowing. Others are wondering why they are not seeing those same profits and can’t take advantage of the situation. 

There is a lot of money being left on the table by some landlords who aren’t aware of how they need to change their habits to make more money during this opportunity. Some of the changes will be easy and some will be more difficult. In this article, we will go over some of the ways to take advantage right now to be able to increase profits. 

1 – Fix the property

Unfortunately, there are many unscrupulous landlords who figure that it is better to not keep their property maintained to make more money in the short term. The reality is that it is better to spend money now to avoid paying more later. The key is that you have to spend money now to make money. 

Those little problems that seem like inconveniences will end up much larger problems with the price tag to match. This will eat into your profits when you should be making more money.
