McMaster Student Housing Services for Landlords
If you own a property in a neighborhood close to McMaster University, you should consider renting it out to students. Some landlords get nervous about this; students don’t have a long rental history and they’re often not as financially secure as other prospective tenants. However, the students we work with are overwhelmingly responsible and intelligent. They’re focused on getting an education and taking on additional responsibilities. They’re eager to meet the requirements of their lease agreements and happy to pay rent on time.If you’re thinking about buying an investment property in Hamilton, consider a neighborhood like downtown Hamilton, Westdale, or Ainslie Wood. Dundas is also a great area for investors who want to buy a property with potentially great tenant pools of McMaster students.
