However, only the time you personally spend on managing or coordinating the property counts.

Superhost 11 years in a row and counting. 

Then the properties did not perform the buyers were counting on a little cash flow Delta that over time evaporated they had no ability to refi they were underwater on the exit  IE sales cost and bringing loan current exceeded equity thereby needing cash to close..

I wouldn't count it out but it's not a C location, it's lower. 

Perhaps the appraiser was counting the garage/attic/basement while the builder was counting only living space?

I cant count how many times we have been called to come in behind someone else to get the job done right . 

The most common things I would foresee them finding is: - sill height and size of any window you are counting as secondary ingress/egress.

Canadian population growth and current vary favourable CMHC financing terms are likely mostly responsible for that, and both of those factors are above/more favourable than historical norms, so if your time horizon is long, then I would not count on appreciation/cap rate compression as part of your underwriting.

I can always count on this forum.

Profit margins are tight and every penny counts.
