Hey Joanne, you’re definitely onto something with room rentals.. it can be an excellent strategy for offsetting a hefty mortgage and, in some cases, bringing in higher total rent than a single lease.

I hope you are working with an excellent agent or broker, they can create leverage and opportunity for you while protecting your interest. 

You provide an excel sheet with basic information about the companies and they return all the contact info you could want for about $0.15 per lead.I have not been able to find an equivalent for Canada.

His staff was equally welcoming, and my business partner and I signed up for his in-person workshops for 2025—it was an excellent deal.
