@yu liu, I believe management fee is 25% for my contract but every contract is different. 20-25% is very common among the vendors I looked at.

The right agent will have worked with Canadians before, will have lenders set up that can work with Canadians and will have a seamless process for management.Not only can an agent set you up with a GC, property manager, lawyer, insurance broker, inspector and everything else you need, they can analyze deals and put numbers in front of you.Your job as an investor is to vet the vendors they are providing and double check their analysis.  

Good luck either way and good job on the remodel. 

On the flip side, if you've got a bunch of Section 8 tenants living in a building that's in a neighborhood where a lot of the tenant base has good jobs, high credit scores, and are generally reliable people, you've got the most risky tenants in that tenant base and that ain't what ya want.

The macroeconomics are on fire here - population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here.

My goal is to buy one rental per year with price between 150k-250k for the next ten years (if i get to keep my job). 

Great job and good luck to you!

Some of them even walk off the job, even after they pull permits and are technically responsible for the work.  

@Brian Dolbeare This is a "it depends" question for sure, but in most cases street parking is pretty common here.
