Now as far as renters insurance, you should have the letter from the company they are going to use prior to move in, some require it a week in advance so they know the property is going to be insured by move in date, that can go for all utilities as well, so you have peace of mind that all the important things are taken care of. 

Also do what you are comfortable with, don't overextend yourself in a way you aren't comfortable with just because "the math" says so, your peace of mind is worth more than that.

Here is what to do, but don't be cheap as your peace of mind is worth 10 times the below costs.

I can sleep peacefully now :) Thanks again!

Well worth it for your peace of mind.

Hopefully he leaves peacefully.

Leaning toward keeping forever...avoid the tax hit, more income (on average) and as long as our systems are in place, we should be able to travel in peace.

Hey. I live currently in fort st john, bc. Was wondering if some locals, or around fort st john investers are on here. Would like to connect. I'm interested in flipping,  and duplex rentals , but not limited too. 

For the amount offered on the house, by me telling him what was wrong with the house, gave him peace of mind that it really does need a lot of work and my offer is far.
