SFR Rental (College students, Families or Young Professionals)

Hey BP,

I am looking at doing a few buy and holds for the first time.  I have been looking at some really good deals in a college town.  There are around $12,000 students, and only expected to increase significantly over the next 5-7 years.  What advice would you give for my first few rentals.  Should I go with college students or families?

Please explain why to help me better understand.
