'Character' is the one word that buyers are looking for.

I have met the tenant (in fact I flew out to get a judge of character on him after that other incident) and he seems very legit.Fast forward to December, all the automatic stuff happens, and I get a text on the 5th asking if I've gotten rent yet.

We will also paint accent walls to add a bit of character to some of the houses.

How things proceed from there will depend on you and your relative(s) in the U.S.A are organized and what percentage of the CFBT is attributable to you and will be re-patronized.Assuming you paid cash for the property; it is held in a 50/50 partnership with your relative; and you were bring all of your earnings back to Canada, then the 30% withholding is only applied to your portion (8160) and your relative would be taxed at the rate for US citizens/residents.

I plan to let that first property add up rent for a year while I get another one up to speed and depending on cash flow, cash balance and how solid I am feeling with the tenants I have and the character of the houses I bought (are they sucking more or less money to maintain as I expected?).

What are the top attributes to look for in an agent?

Fixed cost and allocated variable costs seem very high, this is not attributable to compliance but those new compliance expenses should show in that 500 dollar increase.Wonder too, if there are any increases due to technology, software being amortized that were recently purchased, just thinking of compliance system be changed out and updated.

Your mentor should be of good character with high moral values.

Then you are searching for three characters.
