Spend your Sundays just going through open houses and analyzing the areas.

we are actively seeking to buy more As-is properties in Chch. depends how busy you are in Uni - but you maybe able to assist us and learn along the way if you have the time.

However, if I turn the unit over I am estimating having to spend at least $15k cleaning the place up (new carpet, paint, misc fixes and updates) if I want to get that rent.

So assuming you don't spend all $453k on the property, you will still have some left over for a more permanent home later in life. 

We spend upwards of $25,000 per year on electricity. 

IMO, they have all been instructed / indoctrinated to not provide any legal assistance as none (most) are Attorneys. 

Walking away from a property after spending significant time and money during acquisition and due diligence phases.

As far as financing for new buildings, again I could refer you to some great banks that may want you to put down the standard 20-25% or I may be able to assist with more creative finaincing through our Lending company. 

Is it worth spending $2k to replace this carpet even though the value of the property will not be raised due to a consistent sale price over the last couple years throughout these 2 bed 1.5 bath condos regardless of condo condition?

@Pat Dansdill I'm in the west suburbs, let me know if you need any assistance.
