That doesn't necessarily mean you have to self manage, as there are a lot of very bad landlords who self manage.

Here's why: We have a bit of a sub-prime mortgage affect in Canada because our rates are mostly 5 year terms and from 2015 till present we've seen a buying frenzy at extremely low interest rates when these mortgage terms come to maturity there's a few things that will happen that will leave a lot of people in a bad place. 1. interest rates will surely be higher and some people stretch them self just to get their foot in the RE door in the fear of missing out  2.

I started the corporation 5 years ago and have been paying my self as an employee (w2) for the past 2 years. 

I am working with a private money lender who is funding a flip of mine from a Sunwest self-directed IRA.

To self-manage I agree with @Jassem A..  

That's more than the 1%We also self manage and do most of the repair work  and the handi man work and the plumbing work and the kitchen installations our selves.

I am from Houston, Texas , Self-employed Records Management business for over 16 Years.

I must say i am a bit overwhelmed at the site its self when it comes to navigating it.

Hiding behind contractual technicalities and perverting the law for self benefit never wins.

But you should have most mornings to your self up until about 10 or 11.. when I sold RE I played golf 3 or 4 times a week in the morning then worked from 1 to 9pmbut I worked EVERY weekend except thanksgiving and most of december..
