I would even go so far as to suggest that you put a business plan down on paper that will lay out your short-term and long-term goals and how you will achieve them.Once you have your goals and your desired plan for reaching those goals, you need to start executing.The next step would be to figure out how to finance your properties.

Once you find that agent who will work with you 1 on 1 to help you achieve your goals, deals and doors will open up to you that you didn't know existed.

especially since it would be a large chunk up front vs trying to collect that much rent over time to acheive that same profit margin, it would take me close to twenty years of renting to achieve that much cash profit from the building that flipping it would do.The house is in a strong neighborhood, and should draw nice tenants if managed correctly.

I have been selling homes in Mississauga,Oakville and the G.T.A. since 1988 and have achieved many awards including induction into the Re/Max "Hall of Fame" I am a consistent member of the Re/Max “100% Clubâ€.

Know what your numbers are before going into the deal, and keeping those numbers aligned during the deal, will help you achieve your goals.

Strive to achieve format capabilities like google docs. 

*We do market surveys(actual visits as a "potential renter") on competing complexes to see what the potential market rents and occupancy we could achieve.

I look forward to meeting all the wonderfull people in this community, and to all the great things we can achieve together in the near future.thank you all for your time and interest in my post.It's nice to meet you!

Which says to me that we will be in a buy and hold period for a while to achieve best results.
