Hello BP Community,My name is Patrick Belanger, and my wife and I (both engineers turned entrepreneurs) havebeen investing in Edmonton and the surrounding communities since 2013, buildinga 32 unit local portfolio of single family homes, duplexes, garage suites, andsmall new-build multifamily (6 and 8 unit properties).

Currently it has this large single-family home that I am running as a STR (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1124648152156916536).
