Largely, the appreciation in housing prices is coming from both new migrants and investors coming from the East (GTA) as well as international countries (predominately from the middle east).We are also seeing drastic increases in the rental rates which in turn are pushing investment property prices up as well.

My original plan was to buy 15-20 properties with REI if things went well. 

Frankly, no matter how well you do safety, dumb guests will find some way to hurt themselves so insurance is a top priority.

As for your ques if to wait, well, it depends on the market, in some parts of the country prices are still going up, slower, but still going up, other parts the prices are coming down, you know that area, what is happening there? 

If you want it to run well, you may be spending a lot of time at the property.

So not so well. 

I’d love to hear any tips or strategies that have worked well for you in real estate marketing, especially with PPC campaigns.For those who’ve done this successfully, are there specific keywords, ad placements, or campaign types that you recommend?

Well, what a load of crap.
