(fleurimont, which is the eastern part of sherbrooke). right now i'm paying 875$/month (nothing included) for a large 4 1/2 (new building) on thibault st. which is further from downtown but the property is much nicer. before that i was paying 675$ (heating, electricity included) for a 4 1/2 on rue Grand Monts. so to summarize yes the market is good for rentals and more people are starting to notice. triplex, quad, and 5-plex are especially attractive if you can get the right deal. there's a large ($100 million) project currently underway to transform wellington street's downtown core (link below). something to keep in mind, if you plan on buying near that area (can probably expect some good appreciation as the project progresses).https://www.sherbrookerecord.com/well-sud-project-gets-the-go-ahead/feel free to message me if you have any more questions about sherbrooke, i'm currently closing on a duplex (in sherbrooke) that i'll be living in next year, i'm actually just getting started in the real estate market here but i grew up in the area so i know it quite well.
