Thank you for responding so quickly to my post. (im french sorry if my terms are wrong)

Most of the time when i first call an agent i always ask for the rent rolls Tenants behavior (pay rent on time) for the last 2 years any big major repairs, capex, property management, inspection and regulation, i may be wrong one of my big worries is the foundation i'm obsess with that if there is any repairs i normally run away (maybe i'm wrong). Any leaks from the roof etc.. 

I don't know if I'm missing any good question that need answers. Or I'm just searching that thing that will make me back off from a property because I'm just scared of making the jump haha thats probably it!

anyways thank you please let me know if im missing some good points i need to address on a property either to the building or tenants.

thank you.

Nice post loves it! (I’m French)

Fear, Fear of messing up, Fear of been laugh at because I have no experience, Fear of what other will think of me if I fail, I know that failure is the foundation of Success. I know that this fear is base on nothing but my own thoughts are dominating me. I'm fighting it every time I look a property.

Action is the Key for me if I stay away and look at it with fear I will never go forward and have limited success in REI. I have book my first visit tomorrow fear is every where in my mind, but I still Battle it and one day I will be ok. 100% positive on that.

I love the RUSH that it provides me!

@Roy N.  where can I search for Rent in the neighbourhood hood and what is capex im French sorry

Here is the property link; i don't know if I’m allowed but whatever

http://www.royallepage.ca/fr/property/quebec/hull-...

It was sold before and the other person didn’t pass for the loan or something, the owner accepted 365 000$

They have done 30 000$ Reno and have a insurance claim of 20 000$ for (bric de plomberie) so you have a brand new apartment on 2 levels.

Roof is clean as been done 8 years ago but need to be look at when I go Sunday.

The siding is rough and the agent said it would need new windows. Inspection as been done in 2013 and they reinvested in it to make it comforme to laws or something I don't know the rights terms from French to English sorry. And foundation is clean.

2 Rents a 750$, 2 rents at 525$ 1 rent at 725$

Listed as a 4plex to the city not a 5plex (really don't know what that means).

And the owner is leaving the country in 2 weeks after that it’s going to a management company (Versail gestion).

Anyways I'm going to see it Sunday I'll have more info.

@Colleen F.
