My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

The best defense against rats entering your property is to seal off all entry points (holes, cracks in walls), remove food sources (dirty dishes, food left in trash cans), and water sources (like leaks). 

I just got my Real Estate license and am pretty happy to have passed on the first try.

To get things "shaking and my blood pumping again" lol as money is tight.

I spent many years managing myself and personally collecting rent checks. 

My previous engineer was too unreliable and also just curious on getting numbers from another architect. 

It had 22 of the 25 lots occupied but we'll be fixing it up, filling it up, billing back water and raising rent up to market.

Location of property How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Thank you for your question and for your compliment. 

Downsides is you have less of your feet on the ground and really need to trust and verify all vendors.
