There are a number of real estate Meet ups monthly in Calgary market advertised on Eventbrite.

Note at “standard” MLS market rent to price ratio, the property tax alone is ~20%.

Then again, curb appeal doesn't matter as much in the inner-city parts of my market - more so in the suburbs.Lastly, if a property is newly built/renovated, 'neutral' may not be the best route.

.- If they are more reasonable you may want to accept if for now, but let them know you'd be doing regular increases to get the rent more inline with market rent.Too many newbies here will tell you to get market rent or get rid of the tenant.

He is the foremost authority on Private money marketing.

Lastly funding developer who has 3 subdivisions going in WA DC market. these are big time deals and with our funds for the soft costs  500 k to 1 mil on each project my client is going to make  sit down  but probably over 10 million net  life changing money and well we will do good too !!

I do not have 5 layers of management that make my rates higher, no lender I work with pays for my office space, licensing, benefits, marketing department, compliance department.... 

Personally, in this market, I would work on saving up and really doing my best to find a great opportunity and pull the trigger then.

Attractive digital marketing fliers, 3d tours, professional tours, rent specials, and competitive pricing all help too!

I’m new to REI and plan to invest locally in the Houston market.
