Good article, very well written. I was thinking about student rentals myself, as students are a pretty steady income resource.

A boarding house is a much better idea here as a student basically needs only one room with the added things like bathrooms and kitchens can be shared.

I attended Temple University in Philadelphia, PA and found that landlords were making a killing on renting out to students. I think the key to this whole equation is to find a place where home values are low (like the area in N. Philly where Temple U. is) and buy up a bunch of properties to rent out to kids. Students are going to be a lot less picky with aesthetics, which will ultimately give you a break as a landlord with the kind of money you will have to put into the property.

What are the costs of repairing the wear and tear inherent with renting to students? Between parties and lowered standard for cleanliness, are there extra costs to be attended to between rental contracts?

I am sure there are costs involved in turning the house around for the next set of tenants, but this is true with any property. If a significant amount of damage was done by the previous renters, the landlord has every right to keep their security deposit and use it toward fixing the place up. Most student-rented properties I have seen are actually in better condition than their "adult" rented comps.

Student rentals are a fantastic way to get your properties making money, so long as the house conforms to any health and safety standards required for student acommodation. You can rent the property out as a whole house or on a room by room basis.

Only those rich students can afford high cost rentals. Since they are paying for their school fees, I don't think it would matter to them if they live in a high standard apartment or not.
