  Description:

Created a belongsTo relationship called size and it is returning null when called as property, however when calling as function, builder object is returned.

Steps To Reproduce:

class Product extends Eloquent {

  //

  function size() 
  {
     return $this->belongsTo(InventorySizes::class, 'inventory_size_id');
  }
}

$product->size // returns null
$product->size()->first() // returns Size Model as expected

Hey @jaketoolson, could it be because you have a column on the table with the same name as the property?

@seanmangar son of a... that was it 👍 I was going crazy too, checking everything, even my tests yielded the same "bug". Sigh those damn magic properties ;)
