Calgary and Edmonton are big cities like Vancouver, so you need to be careful where you buy. 

You have to like going there because no-one is ever going to care about your property as much as you.

I'm curious, do they care how leveraged you are?

Anyone buying buildings to flip with tenants in these areas now need to be very careful. 

We are a small company and take personal care of our clients.

I personlly dont care about prop tax's we flip everything within 6 to 9 months I am not a buy hold investor in that market nor am i looking to be one. 

I am still working full time and can let my full rental income take care of debt since my wife and I make good incomes ourselves.  

You can try MyInvestorLoan.com, they usually don’t care if a property has a seller carry portion of financing in 2nd position. 

Scaling your real estate investments requires careful planning and a strong foundation.

And of course, most homes have HOA's (homeowners associations) that can be $20-$250/month to pay for community maintenance, sometimes lawn care, cable/internet, amenity upkeep, pool, security etc.
