Does anyone hear have any experience with either of these companies? 

That’s something I’m still fine-tuning as I explore new areas.As for scaling up, my focus right now is on leveraging tax-efficient strategies and building a system of limited liability companies (LLCs) to keep risk compartmentalized.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Hire a property management company who will manage it for you.

- Agents and title companies I work with always expect EM to be delivered within 24 hrs of opening escrow.

So I can hire a PM company to just do the tenant placement part? 

I own a property management company in WA, including Yakima.Here’s a rough breakdown of costs:- Management: 15-30% of revenue- Cleaning: $100-$200 per turnover- Utilities: $150-$300/month- Maintenance: 5-10% of revenue- Insurance: $1,500-$3,000/yearTools like AirDNA or Mashvisor can give you a solid idea of income and occupancy.

Look for your states offer to purchase contract online or contact a realtor to get a blank copy. review the agreement to be sure assignment is not expressly excluded. if there is nothing excluding assignment from the contract then writing the words "/And or Assigns" after the name or company's name on the buyer's line should be sufficient.Good luck!

If I'm not mistaken, you'll need to setup your RRSP with Trust holding company such as Olympia Trust or Canadian Western Trust, etc.
