The details were great to read about and the investor stands to make a healthy profit at the end of the day.Best of luck!

I think that is one of the reason I am not having a healthy relation with my current property manager.

When working you way through the methodology and lists in Jason's books, just keep in-mind that certain aspects of financing and regulation will be different in BC, Canada (if that is where you plan to operate).Once you have absorbed "book knowledge", I would advise networking to finding an experienced rehabber in, or near-by, the area where you plan to operate and approach her/him about participating in an upcoming flip (you bringing capital to the table) to learn the ropes.Finally, I trust you plan to look elsewhere than Vancouver proper which has a crazily overheated market these days and you will need to command healthy sums of capital to play flipper in most of the City and surrounding 'burbs.

If the OPs market is similar to my own when it comes to parking bans and snowfall, he may very well expect a healthy jump in monthly rent. 

Grow a small garden or hit up a farmers market and buy your protein right, Drink water, etc.It doesn’t take much knowledge or education to do any of this it’s all very simple and common sense but most people have lost the ability to be disciplined and hold themselves accountable.  

There are some downsides to these organizations, so I would suggest doing some in-depth research.3) Self-Insure - This option probably only makes sense if you are both healthy and wealthy enough to carry the risk and absorb the costs.  

And the advice I give is just from that perspective: eat minute CF losses, invest quality over quantity, grab great parcels , have healthy reserves & hold tight (meaning have solid cash reserves or for the folks here way more than solid).

With all the demand for our city, I believe that even with a healthy correction property values in Columbus will stay stable.

We are seeing extremely healthy appreciation and at the price point you cannot go wrong.My favorite areas at this price point would be a small 3/2 in Gilbert (85233 & 85234) some areas of Chandler, and Tempe (85282& 85283).

I was lucky to be born healthy and able minded vs the alternative.
