I'd highly recommend attending some local reia meetings.

Sees a lot of off market stuff because he is a property manager as well.The toughest part about investing outside of your locality is finding boots on the ground that you can trust.

Hey Isadore, Send the tenant a notice of non-payment and have the tenant go down to their local public housing authority office, HRA, or Department of Social Service office and provide them with the notice.

So, I reached out to a local brokerage, and they referred me to an agent with significant experience.This man has built a $30 million portfolio himself, and in just a couple of meetings, he completely shifted my perspective.

Allen, go out of your local area to invest.  

My experience has always been better with a local lender.With that said, I am reaching out to David Greene's The One Brokerage about a refinance.

The key difference, though, was he spent months carefully getting to know the local architecs, reputable builders, and even a couple of niche design firms that specialize in modern builds for mid- to high-end buyers.

Your property taxes will also be higher as you can't use the home owner's grant.There might be local RE meet ups in Vancouver area where you can go and listen to what others have to say. 

Facebook Groups, local meetups

Thank you for the run down on the eviction, I found a local attorney and she filed for me last week and told me it will take 7-8 weeks.
