There is definitely a shortage of supply of good quality student rentals in Windsor!

People definitely treat you differently when they know you can close deals effectively, but since you don't have a big track record yet my bet is that the people you're running into have a similar experience level as you do. they can't help you, you can't help them.

Banks are definitely tightening up their lending. 

I will definitely move my portfolio to management once it is in "maintenance" mode, but as I have grown it is tough to give up control on these items.

It is definitely something I am going to pursue.

Things went well for the most part, but there was definitely friction in the "owner" mindset bumping up against the "renter" in terms of how rough on things we were, and the risks with seeking compensation for any damage from friends.Overall it's still something I'd recommend.

I feel the same way, however my first home is definitely going to be a house-hack just so I can live for free and get ahead that way.I've been keeping my eye out for apartments, however my main issue is similar to what Jeff said, I'm having trouble locating motivated sellers who would be open to seller financing or a lease option, LoopNet or Redfin aren't exactly the best sources.

I am definitely interested in what others are doing, so find this post thread very informative.

Mike definitely a good tip - I appreciate it.

Definitely understand.
