I find it hard to believe there won't be access to some kind of REI meet up somewhere around most anyone these days.I would suggest going to as many REI meet ups as possible.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone give you a referral, don’t make the mistake of assuming that PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.We also can’t believe how many owners hire the first PMC they speak with!

. - Another exception to note on that foreign buyer ban is the number of units/doors for your investment: I believe the magic number is 5+ as this would be considered as commercial Real Estate- In Ontario, you will also have to look our for the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) which imposes about 25% on the purchase tax.

Those failures are  more negligent than a PM allowing a guest who paid with expectation to stay at the house to remain there in the middle of winter when they arrived on a Friday evening as you described.For now you will have to rely upon insurance, I don't believe the PM acted unreasonably given the circumstances.

If your portfolio is large enough, 5% is better.Now, some people believe that this diversification reduces the chances for a large gain.  

You and others believe the notes are just evidence of the debt.

I personally believe that a better way to jump into mid term rentals is to take a course on buidling a property management company or cohosting business where you bring your skillset to the table without the intial investment into all the furniture and leases.

Thankfully, I come from a close-knit family who believed in me.That second investment turned out to be a game-changer.

I believe the "wealthiest" person is the one doing what he loves, while surrounded by people who love him.

The national debt is approaching $36,000,000,000,000 if the government numbers are to be believed.
