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. 

You will not be able to build any kind of re pore with a contractor if you can't speak to them one on one, how else will you get to know them and vise versa

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.  

Start building your team-----Contact brokers and property managers start building re pore with them. 5.

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).

You have to back brush to fill the open pores and get the grooves.
