I still have a lot to learn but have polished off most of the BP real estate podcasts and have self educated my self a lot on wholesaling (mainly from American perspectives, not sure of a lot of the differences between our laws yet in regards to wholesaling).

For example, when renovating our master bathroom, we decided to install ceiling lighting in the bedroom, which not only added much needed light, but also created an accent wall that makes our bedroom feel significantly more polished.

You need to piece together the puzzle from multiple sources.So far the best local criminal resource I have used is through the ME State Police.

There is no policing the police, corrupt or not...

I haven’t met nor worked with this GC yet so take my recommendation for what it’s worth , but I had a good rapport with this Polish contractor named Tomasz Balka.

City workers have to live within city limits so you'll always have great potential tenants in fireman, police officers, teachers and park district employees. 

No police report.A side note is I discovered these tenants had 3 unauthorized dogs in the house a few weeks ago and served them notice of lease violation.  

If it gets really bad, it may end up in a police raid.

My husband says he trusts me and supports me (knowing that I am the financially savvy one in the family), but he is a quite pessimistic given that he is a police officer and only sees the worst in people (think tenants pouring cement down the toilet, taking the water heater with them when they leave, or landlord/tenant eviction calls).

The 2012 incident is of course the most important to look at carefully.You also need to know how police operate in your area if you ever intend to be a landlord in C-class neighborhoods.
