Fining a motivated seller that wants to wait 30-45 days and make repairs to the house passes the mort co inspection, is an unusual situation. 

As a banker - that's where my mind went - extremely unusual at minimum.

This is not unusual. 

Any unusual closing costs that we should anticipate?

I have a 12-month lease and if I find a house to buy in the middle of the year, I signed up to "buy back" my lease for 2 months of rent (the other choice I had was to continue paying the rent through the full term of the lease or until the landlord found another tenant to replace me on a new 12-month lease).This type of uncertain living situation comes up all the time with people.

He covers most everything I can ask to get started, but one of the questions I'm still a bit fuzzy/uncertain of is paying contractors for work when I'm 2,000 miles away from them.

Diverse industries (construction, forestry, education etc.)I believe even the room for high appreciation is uncertain, it's safe to invest for cash flow here (especially BRRRR).Would love to hear your opinions on investing in Prince George / Northern BC, or successful stories ;)I am planning for a trip to Prince George, calling for all real estate professionals in town, lets have a chat!

Both of those can be challenged and updated.3 - Get quotes from different insurance companies and brokers.That sounds like a waterfront rate, which is not unusual for a property backing up to a drainage area.

There are systems that would allow it but it’s unusual for a tenant to pay their water bill.

Oh, and did I mention they don't pay the LO any more than a vanilla loan AND take up 3x as much of the LO's time, as well as taking unusually long to close?
