I might explore other venues later on, but would really like to make a good amount of passive income for myself first before I explore any others.  

If a loan is not worked out through the process, what happens in the 11th month or the 13th month, if failure is the writing on the wall then it seems that dispositions of the remaining assets will go back into the most profitable venue, selling the asset or foreclosure as customary.In the 11th month a list will probably be made, in the 13th month it looks like they are back to business as usual.

If it's blocked out for any period of time, the irs categorizes it differently so we won't block it out but I'd consider raising the rents during that period.That said, it's in North East FL, St Augustine, where the spring and summer is in demand but the rest of the year is not "slow". 2 miles from great beaches, walking distance to the Old Town and National Monument, wedding venues, concert hall, marinas, tourist destination.

You have the benefit of knowing Edmonton somewhat and Alberta is likely to be a fantastic place to invest (depending on the petrochemical sector health of course) so if I were in your shoes, I would use my knowledge of Edmonton and my friends and connections there to invest there while you live in the magnificent city of Montreal.

Martin ) and got to meet SO MANY incredible people that I had only know virtually up until that point"Thanks for the shoutout, and so glad the SF Bay Summit could get everyone together :)  The venue has been a hassle canceling dates for 2017, but should have an announcement soon.

I go several networking events a week that are really a venue for "gurus" to hawk their most recent get rich quick scheme.

GREAT spots that some tourists know about, but are still wonderful: Port of Call and Pat O'Brians... worth going :)Blue Nile, Maison, Apple Barrel, - These are live music venues on Frenchman Street.
