I’m looking for connections with local property managers and realtors as well as for general information on the Rochester rental market, including cost-to-rent ratios, saturation levels, and regulations.

For sure, don't just believe what a few luddites on BP have to say.One of the few in here who understands the space from a macro level. 

I am looking to buy fixer upper homes in Calgary, but I am going to spend most of my time finding deals. 

I don't know if this rises to that level, but it's something to consider, particularly if the tenant does sue. 

Finding BRRRs or fixer uppers is rare since 2020 is only 4 years ago.

This range often lacks economies of scale and doesn’t attract institutional-level investors.

Completely renovated main level:* Demoed and redid kitchen with new appliances* Refinished floors and reglazed bathroom* Replaced the roofComplete demoed and finished the basement and landscaping* Replaced half bath with full and added 2 bedrooms* Replaced entire plumbing including sewer line* Added second washer dryer* installed stamped concrete patio and walkway plus fence* All new landscapingWhat was the outcome?

Like someone else said, your RE licensure exam is going to touch on creative financing in a very surface level way, if at all.

Also, plan on getting capacity for a level 2 electric vehicle charger and capacity for electric ovens/stoves and electric dryers.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.
