Just sent a connection request to you.Hi @Sam ChicquenMy name is Franco, I'm from Calgary and a full time real estate investor.

I just wear so many hats...for example...I do the advertising, selling, hiring, firing, scheduling, payroll, taxes, product research, price negotiation, inspections, insurance meetings, insurance write ups, bank meetings, draw requests, and when I need to I can pick up any tool on any project and do the work better than the lead guy on the crew.

Agree with Basit.The tax ramifications don't change if you take the commission as cash or request a reduction in the purchase price or a credit. 

We usually receive 3 month requests on FF for units that are close to the local hospital.

Several times we've found contractors that saved us thousands off management's estimate, especially when we've requested some renovation in addition to turnover.

We have several qualified people who have already requested an employment application.

When my wife spoke to her mom about it, her mom having also invested a small sum in the property, and she was extremely upset that we paid such a ridiculous amount for a 10-minute job.So, when we got the next faucet washer request, my wife thought that she'll try to go over and do it herself.

I went to lumber liquidators and requested that I can have a personal commercial account.

The LOI provides clear written and agreed terms to help prepare the contract.Sales Price, Due Diligence period, financing terms, Who is paying what fees, what you are requesting for due diligence (leases, financials, maintenance schedules, etc.), Hard or Refundable Earnest money & terms for that, broker representation, title company, attorney info, etc.Best wishes to you. 

Shop around for lenders, compare rates, terms, and service levels, and request soft credit checks.
