The internet (for DIY)

I can't speak to the Canadian market, but I would think that you would be able to find similar resources and ideas from the broad spectrum of people on BP, as well as around the internet. 

@Lumi Ispas  I think the reality of wholesaling out of state unless you have a very large amount of money for marketing is a non starter.. that's why I suggested buying a 1k house.. at least in the first 10 minutes of Cody looking at the internet he could find a house he could buy.. ( don't waste money on postage and such) and then he can use whatever resale techniques he has learned from others here on PB and resell for say 2 or 3k... and make some money.. without costing him more than his time..

@Bart Hedgcock   I do not like him because he was wrong about the "internet economy" (tech bubble) and the "decisive war" (Iraq)  and the "Bush miracle" (Great Recession).Also he is not an economist. 

Fortune named him the “original hippie entrepreneur” in 2002, and he coined the phrase “restorative economy”Here’s a great TED talk on what must occur:The Third Industrial Revolution: A Radical New Sharing EconomyA distributed, non-centralized, internet of things based sharing economy.Productivity globally has been declining for 40 years.

It can be a bit of a pain, but I found this is just the best process.I have used Simplisafe, but the challenge is the project has to be far enough along to have power and internet so you have a stable conditions for the alarm system.

@Jim Adrian I guess it just depends on which internet site you choose as I found a few that definitely push vinyl over aluminum.That second link even says Vinyl comes with UV stabilizers that work to keep sunlight from breaking down materialhttps://www.stanekwindows.com/vinyl-vs-aluminum-wi...I just see info that aluminum frames are prone to corrosion, cost more, and act like radiators. 

@Ray Realdine when I did affordable housing, a majority of my tenants were computer illiterate or didn't have access to a computer/internet.

OK stranger on the internet from across the country. 

Check if any cable providers in your area are offering gigabit internet - that is a huge plus that will require no maintenance once upgraded.
