It really depends on which of the drivers of each segment of rentals is more present with your condo, and which segment has the best blue ocean dynamic present.For example, if you are near a regional hospital and everyone is goo-goo-gah-gah over STRs in the area, mid-term is likely your cash cow. 

As a novice in this market segment, I have ZERO issues with partnering with a more experienced investor, and giving up a sizable portion of the deal in order to acquire it, and then refinancing them out once I am eligible to do so with the property in our possession.  

Brokers can segment to pull out the names of people who's property you wouldn't want and are less likely to want to sell.

That this listing is not really geared towards investors and is more looking to garner interest from those other market segments you mentioned makes a lot of sense.

You have to segment your businesses to do it properly if you plan to invest as a person on your own.

Here's a few market segments I think you have room to further expand on-commercial/ institutional developers and investors- appraisers- architects- engineers- Wall Street (real estate private equity funds, debt funds, reits, investment banks)I'll leave you with how to bring all these members on an entice them a bit but id love to see some of the conversations that would result.

Avery,I am in Montreal, I have learned there is a particular market that is under served in the wheel chair accessible living segment. ie: larger bathrooms, ramps, easy to open door.

It's a desirable area of the state, and commands a premium $$$ Rent.My hesitation is that 99% of the opinions, podcasts, and segments are against condos for buy and hold.

You may have some problems, but if you get their parents to co-sign, you will get your money.I am not currently interested in this segment of the market, but people who own college houses are getting a higher return than I am.

The appreciation issue may be a bit of a red hearing in that while not all markets / market segments will appreciate at the same rate, a rising tide lifts all boats.IF the capital gains can be sheltered, I would try to trade up (in my mind) to better diversity and higher NOI.
