Stories of Student Housing

Can anyone share with me the ups and downs of student housing? Besides the obvious of being able to charge higher rates due to *must have* housing for students, and the higher costs of repairs due to, well, college. Also, was told to have parents co-sign all leases is a good idea.

Is there anything more that someone has expierenced with student housing, or specialize in this niche? Should you expect to have a higher ROI if the house is right? I would love to learn more as there are several homes in the surrounding areas that I would love to jump on, but want to know exactly what I am getting myself into.

Thanks in advance!
