Saint John - looking for property management + contractors

[Chantele Joordens]

Hey BP Canada network!

I have a 6-unit and a newly acquired 2-unit property in uptown Saint John area. The current 6-unit is fully tenanted and I am using property management, but I am unsure whether I am happy with them. There seems to be a lot of turnover in tenants and some months where units go vacant. I am unsure if this is just the Saint John rental market or an issue with the property management company I am using. I recently relocated from Victoria, BC so I am not used to units ever going vacant... 

Alternatively, I just closed on a duplex in uptown area and it needs some minor work done in the next 4 weeks. Countertops, flooring, peeling wallpaper, paint, changing light fixtures, etc. I am located in Halifax, NS so I want a contractor that I can trust. 

Anyone have suggestions for Saint John? 

Thanks,

Chantele

We have several (8) properties in Uptown SJ and are familiar with most that have sold in the past 2-3 years.

The rental market in Uptown SJ varies greatly depending on where you are located ... there can be significant differences in tenant population, turnover and rent levels from block-2-block.   It is in your interest to know the areas well before going shopping.

Send me a PM with more specific information on where in Uptown your properties are located and I'll see if I can steer you towards some reasonable contractors.
