Quote from @Daniel Johnson: For anyone investing - can you recommend a investor-focused realtor in Nova Scotia? 

Are there any recommendations for other land ed courses I should consider to get even more information?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I have some money put away but I am trying to avoid 20% down on the next property.Any recommendations on how to best finance property #2 with these pieces already being in place?

I recommend you spend some time picking and getting to really know your market.

I recommend finding a real estate and business accountant to help you with filing your taxes.Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant. 

Yes, you will have to caulk in some places especially around the tub/wall), but it will be very minimal to what a five-piece surround takes.I recommend only two-piece surrounds in full gut rehabs.

If you just need recommendations for where to go, things to do, places to eat I'm more than happy to share tips. ...While you're here Please visit downtown and of course, the beaches...Downtown is small and flourishing area with many places to go and eat that are highly walkable. 

The specialist I recommend you have is an attorney to properly draft the documents and a title company to facilitate the deal.

I’d recommend running cash flow scenarios on any potential deal to ensure it aligns with your financial goals.If you’d like help analyzing properties or securing financing, let me know I’d be happy to assist.Best,Drago
