I have struggled with the tenancy laws in Ontario (apart from cash flow issues) and hoping to diversify into a market where the laws are more balanced. 

If I had an answer to my money issue then I would quickly pull the trigger on a good deal.

Happy to help with advice on anything cost seg related.

However, I have heard and read of many horror stories of landlords working with incompetent property managers who provide no real value.In attempt to avoid this issue, I am doing my due diligence and asking investors for referrals of trustworthy property manager.
