Rent to college students as my first rental property

[Shonari Wynter]

Hello BP,

I am still looking for my first rental property. My wife and I have been discussing what market we want to rent to. We live close to South Carolina State in Orangeburg so she thinks renting to students would be great. I have heard a few horrible stories and a few good ones so I am split down the middle. I am hoping this thread can help me decide. Who does student rental and what are your opinions and who stays away and why?
