We never have problems with international students except noise and garbage which are manageable. But, generally cash flow is good. However, getting property insurance for student rentals are now difficult. Have you guys encountered the same challenge?

Yes, Hub team is good. Got instant reply and waiting for final quote. Thanks everyone.

Thanks again, Marco. Would it possible to get your personal email?

Thanks, Marco.

Just helping a family of four newcomers looking for a home in GTA. They have small savings but no credit history yet. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you so much Tina. We spoke with Park Insurance unfortunately they are restricted to provide insurance only to REIN members in Ontario (they are based in BC) due to policy regulations (another form of discrimination by government's insurance rules and regulations?) ===))) We are now in...

Hello everyone, Currently insured with State Farms but premium increased dramatically after being acquired by bigger insurance company. Can anyone recommend a reasonable and flexible insurance company that caters to primary residence with tenants (students)? Also, while searching for another...

IMO: 3-6 month lease is just right to test tenants and renew it at same lease rate if satisfied. Was thinking of this strategy for international students coming in soon. By the way, aside from copies of passport and visa and co-signor on the lease, what other requirements do you guys normally...

Very true! Some PM will fabricate stories so they can charge the owner/landlord for doing nothing. Do your own investigation before accepting suspicious or other charges not stipulated in the PM contract.

I don't know about you guys. It's probably worth waiting except when good deal knocks your door.

I see. Confused? No time to explain. Let's move on)))

We're in Open Forum site, right? Do you have any problems with that dude?

Didn't Warren Buffett say: "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful". For sure it's the way to go. However, I think it is more applicable to investors who got enough $$$$$$$$ and who do not need ROIs/Cash Flow to pay the mortgage.

Excellent read...Thanks Ahilan. Please take note in P-81: “Government needs to increase the supply,” one interviewee noted. “If there was enough supply, there would be no affordability issue.” Hoping concerned government authorities can read it as well.

Actually, it's a BNN article. Totally agree. We should look what's behind the curtain. At the end of the day, it's individuals' call. Very true! Wondering how many grand "business trips" with full entourage our officials made for the past year alone! Any economic benefits? Doubtful.

In reality, if this 11 buyers are serious (not curious) and will make formal Offer stating the 'Price' that they are willing to pay (not afford) for their 'Demand', I think a bidding war will occur that will push 'Price' higher. Otherwise, see Thomas posts below as 'Demand' will eventually diminish.
