For the future though you might want to reduce your concerns on saleability (might)
I can`t speak to Ottawa specifically but most other Ontario towns have significant student investor markets where properties are valued by the bedroom.

We`ve decided to pass on the deal, regardless. Our concern is potential exit strategies. Due to where it`s located, it`s hard to imagine how we could sell this property to anyone but an investor.

The strategy we started out with was to buy duplexes that can be rented out to working professionals - and would have a large market of potential buyers when we want to sell. The feedback in this thread has made us realize that by getting into student rentals, we would be deviating substantially from our strategy.

I may be a bit late to weigh in on this one as you have already made your decision, but I would be pleased to offer you my professional services in your search for duplexes that are geared towards working professionals. I live, work and invest in the Ottawa market, so I feel I might be able to offer some insight that some of the other members might not. I just thought I would put that offer out there for you.

Thanks for the offer, Eric. I`ll give you a call.
