Condo in Starkville

[LexSCDOG]

Advice sought:

Considering getting a 2 bedroom condo in Starkville over the next year. Not wanting to rent during football season as we are 500 miles away and hotels are getting old. A few questions for those of you who have one:</SPAN></SPAN>

1. Do you find that you can rent on a semester basis(maybe just spring & summer.)</SPAN></SPAN>
2. If you are from out of state, I have been told if you have a student there, who registers his car in Ms, you can get a break on real estate tax(4% to 2%?)</SPAN></SPAN>
3. What are your typical extra cost per month of bills(electric, water, cable). Excluding Home owner dues.</SPAN></SPAN>

Just jump on airbnb 12 months before the season and rent a house/condo in Starkville for the whole weekend. Probably $300-400 weekend for a whole house.
