Inspections and the stupid face of a property manager, and nickel-and-diming, and periodic rent raises, and pompous certified letters, and broken promises to fix stuff (I've made and broken many of these promises myself now), and weak attempts to pass wear-and-tear expenses to me...all of it would just be too tedious to put up with.

The best ones are the ones your buyers are looking for, and the worst are the ones no one wants (and for the most part, the ONLY one NO ONE wants is the one that is overpriced).I promise that's not meant to be snarky....the tip is to find out what buyers want.

I see the New Brunswick market is very promising in term of rental, especially in Saint John.

I read “Fake” and was wondering what would happen to our lives with all of these mortgages if we have a recession?

I promise that I am not one of those KW recruiting agents. 

I did a back of the envelope analysis for this 3 unit plus general store building and got the following numbers which seem pretty promising. 

It basically says "Promise us, the VA, that you will live in this house and never, ever use it as an income property...and that you'll move in within 60 days of closing." 

If you take it all out, pay yourself, well that means you have cash somewhere they can attach, if you put a fake mortgage on t or leave very little cash in it, that can be a basis to pierce the veil. 

Unless you go on a solid recommendation from someone you trust, you really don’t know if a Private Money lender is real and trustworthy or fake and criminal.
