@David Paul Networking and education are key components to success in this business. 

I'm looking for the lease to cover all structural, mechanical systems, electrical, plumbing, appliances, interior, exterior, roof, landscape, hardscape, etc.I have an existing lease already that is solid, but I am looking for Clause samples with T's and C's for the maintenance component.

It's good that you're looking at it from their perspective as this will be an integral component to finding the right guy or gal to take you under their wing.Always remember that business is the art of adding value or helping people more so than making a quick buck (well, at least I think it is).

Some of the property management certifications actually have a portfolio experience component (IREM.org).

Looking for methods to troubleshoot all the other components.

@Mindy JensenI know we are a small - soon to be snow-stricken - component of BP, but how would I search/filter the Marketplace for properties in Canada?

This site is an excellent resource to learn the many components of investing.

The best turnkey companies I know have the following components: good communication (you'd be surprised how bad it can be in turnkey world), good quality properties, and good property management.

All basic Microsoft office components are great ways to present your real estate deals in either a public speaking environment or an Internet file transfer.
