As others have mentioned, Vancouver is very expensive and difficult to find cashflow. 

don't get separate meters as that cost will be difficult to recover.

In the metro-G.R. area where this is, I am, it is difficult to purchase anything that cash flows to rent otherwise, and it is a very hot market yet. 

It is an awesome system and does everything for single and multi family management, makes our difficult job so much easier.

The reality of real estate is just much more difficult and nuanced than it seems on a spreadsheet. 

You might also meet title agents who have resources on, say, foreclosures or probates…and might recommend lenders who actually lend on more difficult projects (as the title companies also know which lenders can close and which are difficult).I also go visit open houses to see what sorts of finish to put on my renovations or to look for the next house or area in which to purchase.  

When I graduated I decided to pursue a career in becoming a real estate agent!

I have to choose between a much cheaper market that I live in that is much easier to cash flow, but finding good renters could be more difficult.
