I have rented a room in green residendences once and am curious if it is a good investment to own and manage a condo?

For current owners and past-current tennants.

I would love your insights such as:

• How would you rate your overall experience living/investing here? • Is it generally easy or difficult to find tenants? • On average, how long do units stay vacant? • What’s the typical monthly rent for a studio/1BR unit? • Are the monthly dues and other costs reasonable? • Have you experienced any issues with maintenance, elevators, security, or cleanliness? • How is the management of the building? • Do you think the property value is improving, stable, or declining? • Would you personally recommend buying a unit here? Why or why not?

Would love your insights

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice.

I’m 19F and about to enter my 2nd year of college as a medtech student.

Since I was around 15, I’ve always wanted to start a business. What really attracts me is the idea of having control over my time and making big decisions for myself. Because of that, I opened up to my parents before college and told them I wanted to take accounting or marketing instead.

Unfortunately, I lost that argument. They believe medtech is the more secure path, especially since my mom is already in that field.

Even so, I took entrance exams for both medtech and marketing on my own—and I passed both. That gave me more confidence to bring it up again, but in the end, I still ended up in medtech. Now I’m about to be a second-year student.

The thing is, I don’t feel fully engaged. I skip lectures sometimes because I can study the material on my own, then just show up for quizzes, exams, and practicals—and I still pass. So technically, I have time to explore other things.

Now that it’s summer, I feel that spark again to start something—maybe a business or any kind of project. I don’t even feel the need to tell my parents right away. But at the same time, I feel stuck.

Part of me trusts my parents and their decisions for me, but another part of me is struggling to accept “not now.” I feel this strong urge to start something, yet I’m also very indecisive. It’s like I’m ready to act, but I don’t know where to begin—or if I should even begin at all.

I know I’m driven, but I also feel lost.

I’m confident that I can try different things—like TikTok, video editing, being on TV, quality control, or anything really—because I’m open to failing and learning. But that’s also part of the problem: I don’t know what direction to focus on.

Right now, I feel confused about my purpose in life.

I’d really appreciate any advice or perspective. Thank you.
