Hey Saskia,

Thanks for reaching out! I’d love to get in touch with you. I’ll send you a PM :)

@Connor Griffiths

Thanks Connor!

All the properties I am looking at allow for self management, and I have heard about the large cost associated with them! Thanks for reaching out to me on this, I’ll make sure I’m doing my due diligence before making a move on anything.

Cheers,

TC

Hey Michael thanks for getting in touch!

That’s a big thing for me right now. Finding out who is charging what, and what they offer compared to other companies.

I was just listening to a recent BP podcast where they stated you can barter with vendors on prices for their services. I think getting some quotes from different managers would be helpful when negotiating a % cut on the property income.

I wouldn’t say I’m “worried” about cash flow, as this property still has to break even but in the event it doesn’t, I am still living for cheap or free, and in the event the numbers are right I will turn profits every year.

Hey everyone!

I’d like to thank you for reading this post,

I work full time out of province with fly-in fly-out work so I am rarely home (once or twice every couple months).

I have been pondering the idea of purchasing 1 or 2 condos in the West Kelowna or downtown Kelowna area.

I am familiar with running long term rentals but have not tried the STR yet and I think it may be a good idea to use my primary residence to earn extra cash while I'm away. Using this method would allow me to book my 3/4 nights home every couple months to stay in my property and earn income while I'm away.

All the properties I am looking at allow for STR and have in house STR management in place with the strata company.

Has anyone had any experience with the supplied management companies at resort like condominiums? Any pros and cons?

If you have any experience in these areas using STR and you have some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for reading, I look forward to hearing from you!

I’d be interested. 

Thanks for the reply Edison! I’ve started to see a couple half duplex’s and townhomes pop up in Kamloops that I may purchase very soon.

I’m a new investor in western Canada and I’m having a hard time finding “deals” has anyone had success finding deals under 300,000 for single family homes over 2 bedrooms especially in kelowna and Kamloops BC. Thanks in advance for your input!
