As @Charlene Acosta mentioned, there are people who do it still and get away with it, but many who get caught and heavily fined. 

One side was heavily smoked in with literally worn out carpet, which was all updated.

I currently am pretty heavily networking in the Columbus area, feel free to reach out if you or anyone reading this wants to get together and chat sometime.

I have been heavily focused on the BRRRR strategy for the past couple months.

If this is true, it puts Saskatoon heavily dependent on immigration demand.

This might be a TLDR - but if you have the inclination...So I have been researching Tax Lien Auctions pretty heavily recently and I had some questions which might be simple questions, but I haven't found on any websites or books yet, so I figured it was worth a shot to throw them out to the smarties at Bigger Pockets and see who could hit a single:1.

This is somewhat more controversial to rely so heavily on numbers but for a newbie, it was way easier to have a black and white picture on whether a deal made sense or not for my criteria. 90% of the time, the numbers didn't look good but when it did, I had the confidence to know that there might be something here and that it was go-time to have my realtor visit the property and make a verbal offer....Be Confident: One of the biggest mental breakthroughs I had was when my mentor told me to just start making offers if the numbers and property looked good.

Seems as though the deal is very speculative and depends heavily on continued trends of appreciation and tenants willing to pay continuously fast increasing rates of rent over the next 5 years to cover improvements costs and dividend payouts to lenders.  

It heavily relies on the city and how they are with permits.

It's like people assume because you bought a ton of real estate you're making tons of money.Often, newbies don't understand that prolonged vacancies, expenses, repairs, supplies, etc. all drag heavily on cash flow and turn 100 units from a blessing to a curse quickly.Quick example: I could add on 100 units in 2020 if I don't care about cash flow or I too optimistically figure my actual expenses.
