I am brand new to this site.  I started doing some home flipping from 2001 - 2009, then got into buy and hold.

I am at a cross roads, so I recently sold some properties, in an effort to have a portfolio of quality over quantity.

Not exactly sure what my next move will be, the big challenge for me has been learning about tenant issues, and dealing with some unexpected repairs, both my wife and I took a course and are IPOANS CAM Certified (Certified Property managers).

We only manage our own properties, plus have a couple of hired property managers to help with some out of town units, however, I have been studying tenancy rules, laws, and have become addicted to answering property management questions.

What attracted me to join this site, is all the different types of real estate investment people are involved in.

I look forward to participating in the forum.

Michael:

Welcome to BP.  It is always good to see more Canadian's, Maritimers especially, here ... and a Bluenoser to boot.

Congratulations to you and your wife for pursuing training and certification(?) though the provincial property owner's association; are they still conducting their CAM training via NSCC?

The New Brunswick Apartment Owners Association (NBAOA) does not offer such training, but I've been considering having our folks pursue the CPM designation via REIC.
