International tenants in San Diego

I'm considering buying a rental property in Pacific or Mission Beach area to rent out to international students. 

Would you recommend this? 

I know that there can be a lot of trouble. What are your main challenges as landlords?

I know that international students has trouble finding reliable and trustworthy landlords so I was thinking about housing international students. What are the pros and cons when dealing with international students?

Why such a specific demographic?  My fear with international students is that they'll take off and return to their home country without paying rent.  Also, they don't have credit history, social security, etc. Why risk it when there are plenty of other tenants out there.
