Greetings All
We're in the process of renovating a house to make it suitable for student accomodation and would value other people's experience in this area.
Specifically, what's better:
Furnished or unfurnished rooms?
If furnished, should we have a bed, desk, draws?
Also, there's no deck at the moment, and hubby thinks we should be building one. I'm not sure if we'll get our return if we spend $7k on it. Do students like having a west face deck to sit on, or would they rather a courtyard with a north-east aspect.
At the moment, the numbers we're looking at for a house near the Uni of Qld with kitchen, bathroom/laundry facilities are $90 per room - and it's a 4bedder.
What else should we be thinking about? Would appreciate other people's views and/or experience on student rentals.
Cheers
