And if you're looking for an investors agent who knows what they're talking about, I'm getting my license now (should be here in a week or so), and my broker is very experienced in Real Estate investing, from duplexes to large multi unit buildings. 

What I'm wondering is - what benefits/disadvantages have you experienced when using the same real estate company for PM and purchasing vs. separate companies?

People who are very experienced at renovations/building aren't just going to show the special sauce on what took years to learn. 

What's up bigger pockets I'm a 25 year old investor living in Canada I currently own one rental, and invested in pre built condo and work a hourly job I am hungry for knowledge and looking for ways to leverage my investments would love to hear tips from the more experienced community.

From anyone experienced does this seem like a as big of risk as I think?

You need to hire a lawyer experienced in the law otherwise you risk being take to court by your tenants.Until you learn the laws you should stop dealing directly with tenant issues.

I wanted this 8 unit for my rental portfolio, talking to an experienced flipper (15 Yrs.) he wants to partner with me on the deal.

I’m in the early stages of developing my Real Estate Investing business and I’m looking to connect with experienced Wholesalers and/or Investors.At the moment I’m working on analyzing my local market and finding good deals.

There's nothing wrong with taking on a modest fixer-upper in the beginning and taking on more challenging ones as you become more experienced. 

Looking to invest in that market so would love to connect with experienced professionals.
