Hello all,If you look at the cost of acquisition or even the cost for land redevelopment in Canada the margins are very low and in most cases it is virtually impossible to recover your initial capital.

I know I live in a very unique MTR environment with more universities within walking distance of all of my properties than anyone else on this continent, but I do want to add to the list of potential tenants, visiting scholars.If your property is near a university or college, visiting scholars are also potential tenants for fully furnished MTRs.

Hi @Adam Hofmann , and thanks for the tip on the virtual phone service earlier..

I live 5 minutes from a suburban university campus and didn't really think about student housing.

On the other hand, there's been a boom over the last 15 or 20 years of new condos downtown and in the 3rd Ward, which are generally all pretty pricey, usually starting around $200k for a 1bed/1bath tiny unit and going up into the multi-millions in certain spots like University Club Tower where one 9000+ sq foot unit that covers an entire floor on maybe the 35th floor is appraised by the city at $13 MILLION!!!!
