Some provinces offer energy rebates or tax vouchers on these kinds of improvements, so for me, it's a no brainer to spend that extra cash upfront.g) Much more room to pull your money back out after development when it comes time for refinancing.

Tenants can be liars and outright thieves.Section 8 (tenant #2):With my first tenant finally gone, I was able to clean the unit and rent it to a Section 8 tenant.Finding a S8 tenant is very easy, just list your property on GoSection8.com and you'll get bombarded with inquires.I setup a scheduled viewing time on a Sunday afternoon, and had everyone apply electronically thru Apartments.comI sorted through the candidates applications, credit and background checks.Amazingly, my ultimate selection had been on the S8 waiting list for a voucher for almost 11 years.
