As soon as we walked through the house it was pretty easy to figure out how the kitchen could be improved.

With improving investment economics, is Montreal one of the last markets to see real value for multi-family properties?

Or you can delegate that out to a good agent and free up your time and energy to focus on what matters to you -- perhaps finding your next deal.The other, subtle aspect, that rarely gets mentioned, is positioning the property on the market, and market perception.

But the property would never do that because of its design and limitations, so in order to make money, I'd have to either create more space/more bedrooms, or wait for the area to improve.

This is a two-story standalone building consisting of two efficiency apartments, one on top of the other.The tenant below them does not have fleas, and neither do the tenants in the front house.I bug bombed the apartment in question, and the tenant claims to have bombed it again. 

I love your energy! 

I was wondering if anyome had any tips on how to market rental properties efficiently to buyers.

Yes, I said cost, because I'm one of those meanies who do not provide free consultations.But even if you get it for free, you would be much better off spending your time and energy on doing deals.

For me, I'd like high cash flow with opportunity of improvement and sale in 3-5 years.

We were both young doctors right out of school, with lots of energy and willingness to learn to do things ourselves - I would say most communities would pay US to move there.
