The best one that I've come across is organized by @Charles Nguyen. 

(My husband pushing faster than I want to go) I've joined one of my local REIAs and attended a three day training put on by the Rich Dad Poor Dad organization.

Phillip:Thankfully, the garburator/garbage disposal is predominately a US affection.Dollars and cents aside, there are many other reasons not to use them:1) they increase the amount of organics that reach the sewage treatment plant which, in turn, increases the plants consumption of oxygen ... which, often results in more active bacterial matter being flushed/released from the system into waterways;2) increase the amount of solid residue which needs to be removed from the treatment plant and disposed (usually in landfills);3) they have been linked with the increase in toxicity of the water supply (this is not a fault of the machine itself, but rather the user); 4) they also tend to increase per-household water consumption.Under sink garbage disposals are no longer permitted in many locations.As a landlord with student rentals, they are simply an invitation for more service calls and higher repair costs.

Resumes tend to be embellished, but if I see significant skin in the game and other connections to people or organizations that I know (LinkedIn helps a great deal) I can gain some confidence in their abilities.

@Regina Carter, REO is a real estate organization. 

The basement had white, organic wool wall-to-wall carpet in the finished portion (bedroom + living area).

Preparatory courses leading to the examinations are organized through the Regions by authorized public or private training bodies who must be authorized to carry out the training.

They are primarily to improve your image but you also need a way to draw traffic to your site.

hi quebec i would start by looking at the laws of regie du logement http://www.rdl.gouv.qc.ca/fr/accueil/accueil.aspit is an gov organism that protects the renters, quebec is very pro renters -the return on investment in quebec is really low compare to florida, i wanted to go to the u.s. because the difference is so drastic.Do you know if there is a lot of renos to do?

You want to make sure that you stay close to a train line as that can help attract potential tenants.Also be on the lookout for the tristate BP meetups organized by @Darren Sager.
