Renting to college students (kids)?

[Taylor West]

I am curious to know how people feel about renting to college students?  That is, a 2/2 or 3/2 at least.  The house is close to the university (and there are a hand full in the same neighborhood/street that are for sale).  

Pro's and con's or just con's?

Not necessarily a bad thing, I would get a mommy/daddy/grandparent co-signer for sure though. 

Pros - They need a place to live and a lot of them have their rent paid by someone else

Cons - Damage - May not call about maintenance items that could be easily fixed and end up being worse

Plenty more pros and cons I am sure others will chime in. 

Good Luck!
