Any idea?

We get calls from newer investors often that have just bought a property in a flood zone that they want to rehab, but had no idea that the rehab was limited.

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow. 

Quote from @Rachel Jane: First post, no idea what I’m doing, lolMy grandfather passed away and left me his condo, which is fully paid off (and located in a seniors residence) It’s worth approx $500,000 (CAD).

Yes, good idea to spread it around.

I have no idea why folks spend a ton of hard earned money on these "guru"  classes.

It is hard but as a realtor I pay attention to prices throughout the year so that I have an idea of whether or not it is a "real" discount.

3: I have no idea how to determine how much to borrow verses pay cash?

I don't invest right in the city but I do invest south of there so if you end up looking at places there feel free to reach out if I can offer any insight.Jeremy is very correct - zip codes won't give you a good idea of price. 

The idea of getting a duplex seems great, but I am having trouble finding anything on and off market.
