I do realize that many have made decent money at the very low end of the market, but that takes quite a strong stomach, and I believe also was a function of particular market conditions which aren't likely to exist again any time soon (IE these properties got absolutely crushed in the downturn of a decade ago and were picked up for a song.

Patrick,High taxes are like a stomach punch (same as high POAs). 

It’s to ensure that you have margin, can stomach a hiccup, pay selling costs, and (hopefully) make a profit.

If that's the case, I guess I don't have the stomach for it.

So, @Edlen Oira, if you have the stomach for student rentals, there's some good return on your money.Otherwise, if you want killer cashflow and enough money to invest in Toronto, it would make more sense to me to invest in commercial properties in markets surrounding the GTA (but that's just me).

I used to live in one, and did not have the stomach for it, so I moved.Your HOA is mismanaged.

Some people, by nature, worry about these kinds of details and may not have the stomach for investing in a short-term rental property.

Take advantage of long term investment benefits - stomach the dips/rises & retire by 60, have a maid do my laundry/clean my house/cook my food, live in an area with nice weather, workout every day, ride motorcycles, drive sports cars, do track days, visit Vegas whenever I want.I plan to do this with income properties - buy a duplex, 3-4 unit, and into the bigger (15-20 unit) closer to retirement.Long Beach investors - hit me up!

I can't hardly stomach the markup involved in letting someone else manage everything.

All this research has my stomach in knots.
