@Sam Peterson You can utilize different online companies (web, phone apps, etc.) for this but if you're new to REI you could gain traction by making your own.

I can't seem to find much info online about this and I've had trouble finding contractors willing to take this on

A professional contractor is not going to work with you buying parts that don't fit online or at Home Depot.Who pays for delays?

By Thanksgiving (most even sooner) all will be back online. 

Networking Opportunities: Are there local networking events, conferences, or online forums where I can connect with other investors and professionals in the Edmonton real estate market?

I'm not sure what you'd learn that you can't find online.

But, excel is totally fine in the beginning (in addition to your PM software to capture transactions outside of the properties).We use QuickBooks Online exclusively for all of our REI Clients.

Can anyone tell me where I go online to research what the law is in the states that are relevant to me? 

I looked at Law Depot online but that template won't work for us as it requires an interest rate to be input.

We meet online Fridays at 9am (PST).
