• Current Property: Should we keep our current townhouse as a rental, considering the low 2.75% interest rate, even though it hasn’t appreciated much since purchase?

The other 40% realizes it will cost a lot of time and effort to move and that they’ll likely be paying even more afterwards.

This tells the algorithm that people are interested in booking your property, even if they don't book it. 

Second, even in countries that do allow foreigners to buy investment properties relatively easily (like Spain), you typically have to come up with much larger down payments (like 40%+) as a foreigner.

I know if I do not rent to students, we will not get even close to the type of rent we are looking for, but paying the mortgage with no rent is hard on my family and I. 

I would think that participating in a sub to deal as a principle poses an even higher risk.

Nice to know which way the markets heading even if just intuituvely through dealing in the market.

There seems to be good rent/price ratios even at the top of the market. 

Even if you are doing volume, why would you waste your time and not delegate?

Dennis, I wish I was able to have grown up close with friends like yourself or even had that nowadays...WOW!
