Home sales have reached their lowest point since 2010, driven not solely by high interest rates and low inventory but by shifts in household incomes and confidence.As fewer people search for homes, this altered sentiment trickles up, impacting business and investor confidence.

I would suggest starting in areas like Merion/Hungarian for value-add opportunities, South Linden for fixer-uppers, and Whitehall - improving market.

For example I just did a quick MLS search from Colfax north to Longmont, up to $550k.

I just put them up on the AMHA search myself and put my PM as contact but I tend to be hands on.

Interest rates are showing signs of improvement. 

If you were facing, say, a foreclosure issue and needed to sell your house fast, what would you search for?

That said, some lenders are flexible if you can show the improvements made. 

In addition to Realtor.ca (ICX.ca, MLS.ca), you can also search Kijiji for the city/region in which you are interested,

As it's me to me, I wouldn't need title search and title insurance and such.

You would determine an amount to set aside for repairs, improvements and vacancy beforehand.
