In September, I found a property I was interested in acquiring online.

I follow a similar practice and ask tenants to fill out a "move-in inspection" form.

So in practice , accredited-investor-only investment has bigger risk/reward than public investment.First because public investment has its own transparency.

I checked online regarding Elmsure.

Quote from @Jimmy Wellman: I've looked online for some information about the average % of the final home price vs. the price you purchase the home for and found that the home should be purchased for 70% of your home's final sale price. 

For my thesis, I'm conducting research into the practices and motivations of small landlords in Ontario to explore how various social and economic factors influence their business strategies, day-to-day property maintenance, and tenant interactions.Could anyone refer me to someone who might be interested in participating?

Are you focusing on online lead gen like Facebook ads, Zillow, or platforms like BiggerPockets?

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

I encourage you to take a look at out pages, reviews and feedback from other owners posted online.

It sounds like the plumber took advantage of the situation. second… Many property managers wouldn’t know much difference between a hammer or a screwdriver so expecting them to go assess the situation is not practical.
