Pre Construction Condos
Hello everyone, first post here, very excited to get started.
I am a future investor looking at getting into a pre construction condo.
It's being built right next to a university, a major highway, as well as a shopping center being built. Would be renting it out most likely to a student. Estimated completion date is May 2022.
1) Have any of you had success with pre construction condos or is it generally not worth ?
2) To those who do rent out to students, would you recommend a studio, a 1 bedroom, or 1 bedroom plus den ?
Thank you for your time in advance !

Hi Ifran,
It seems like a long time to wait for a completed project and have your money held as a deposit. A lot can change during that time. Macro and micro changes to the economy.
I would rather just buy something now that is in the area and get started with the investment. Buying pre-sale is a high-risk high reward.
