A small amount of movement in the rail of a screw-drive garage door opener can be normal, as it’s designed with some flexibility to handle the door's movement.

It could also mean that you are opening the door to a lot of complaints in the future.If you do not fix it and then there is strained relations with the tenant it is the way to start a business relationship with your client.

@Dennis BoettjerI know a guy who does this with note investing and has a min $5000 investment and is open to non accredited investors.

I'm open to anywhere in the GTA, it's been difficult finding a meetup group so I'm willing to travel to Brampton/Mississauga!

Now more and more of these are popping up all over Seattle and buyers are more open to purchasing them.  

You've opened up an interesting can of worms. 

Any insight on neighborhoods to target for LTR, or lakes to target for STR (open to non lakes as well).  

Here are a few simple and free ways to learn: Go to real estate meetup groups, attend open houses and speak with the agent there, inspect FSBOs (for sale by owner), walk your area, and speak to people tending their yards.The idea is to engage with other people and ask, Ask, ASK questions about their experience with the local market.Some other ideas: find a home inspector who will let you tag along in a property inspection, and absorb what they are looking at and why.Your mindset and enthusiasm for learning about real estate will open many doors for you.Good Luck!

However, I’m open to all strategies.

@Sharad BagriI would open a bank account at a local bank or credit union that will lend on the properties you are buying.
