Simple- exellent relationships with reliable and honest contractors.

Calgary (Alberta in general) is not land locked.

Is it finding reliable information?

Are your losses locked up against your passive income? 

I thought I was getting an amazing deal but what I'm ending up with is; essentially locked into closing on house where everyone expected the current tenant to leave cooperatively however, he is now planning to stay indefinitely without paying rent until getting evicted.

Then evaluate what went right/wrong and execute at least four more BRRRRs in 2025.Hi David, you should start building your team - a reliable GC, a lender who understands the BRRRR strategy, and a PM who knows your target market.

It's hard to find reliable, honest people who are also good at what they do. 

Property managers can handle tenant screening, lease agreements, rent collection, and even routine maintenance with a network of reliable contractors, which could save you the headache of finding a trustworthy handyman remotely.That said, if you feel confident in your ability to manage these aspects remotely and have reliable contacts in place, you might be able to save money by doing it yourself.

I have worked with Mark on several projects, and he has always been reliable.
