Win-Win: How One Kelowna Property Owner Turned Market Challenges into Opportunity
From Empty Investment to Premium Healthcare Housing: A Kelowna Success Story.
The Property Owner's Story
Meet Derrick, the owner of a condo located in Kelowna’s mission neighbourhood, close to Kelowna General Hospital.
Derrick was facing a common challenge:
His fully furnished - fully equipped property was sitting vacant after short-term rental regulations swept in and a slow rental market hit.
A traditional tenancy would limit his personal use flexibility.
Dave was concerned about property wear and tear.
He was looking for a reliable solution to prevent the need to sell his secondary investment condo.
Enter Roam Destinations.
