Student housing investing for a rookie

Hey everyone! I am a real estate rookie. I have yet to take the plunge but my interest is piqued. I have been reading, listening to podcasts and trying to learn. Here is my scenario: I have a 13 year old and she repeatedly states she wants to attend a particular university. It is in a beautiful and growing city. I have thought of purchasing a single apartment or condo that is considered off campus student housing. Does anyone have any good information to point me towards or advice to give. I have talked with one realtor and have another to talk to. I am going to contact my CPA and an insurance agent as well. Thanks for the support and being so generous with your knowledge. I look forward to the replies!
