(Now I can afford in-house attorneys, CPAs, property managers, construction crew etc) Conclusion: Everything was on a steady momentum but to answer your question of what accelerated my growth the most, for me it was the tipping point created by the combination of1.

The tax deed is issued at the conclusion of the sale, for the real property.  

So in conclusion, come up with a strike price and start your negotiations about 10% under that amount.

Turns out it is VERY hard to prove who brought them in - apparently, the bedbugs can stay dormant for quite some time, so unless the tenant has lived there for 10 years, you may have a very hard time conclusively proving to a judge that they weren't there before the tenant moved in.  

@Oleg Kio thanks for that link, i came to the same conclusion as well.  

My biggest problem is that I did not have time to run every single problem to conclusion.  

Hi Chris, I've viewed Campbell River, and came to the same conclusion, rents are fairly high there, but property prices are a bit too steep for the rent to cover the mortgage.As for Port being a logging town, it is, but not as much as it once was.

Just to bring a logical conclusion to this topic, I would like to let you know that I am also filed tax returns (final signature is pending) for 2016.

Just wanted to update anybody that happened to be following this thread (I see a lot of threads that start with someone doing something and they never really provide a conclusion after the build up lol).So I partnered with a real estate agent and did some research on the property's history.

Given our backgrounds, most are seeking to invest primarily on our track around in non-real estate investing, and less so on the metrics of any particular deal.I'm curious if the community recommends returning all capital and interest at the conclusion of each flip to investors, and then re-raising funds with each new investment, or if there is a way to structure our entity to mirror a REIT, so that we guarantee a particular interest rate, but have the rights to the underlying funding for a set period of time (say 3 years with a 12% annual preferred interest rate).
