Hi Gregory,I'm confused, are we talking about plumbing vents (ie: pipe of some kind) or ventilation fans and duct work?

While much of what you will learn here is universal in nature, there are distinct differences between the U.S.A. and Canada in areas of regulation, taxes and financing.

Different insurance companies have different rules, regulations, and coverages.

The man that we met with owns 5 rental houses and understands the real estate world along with the financing world.In addition to this contact, we are also pursuing other credit unions for a similar loan programs to evaluate.Building Permit UpdateWe have submitted our permit needed to do our plumbing and electrical work along with the final checks before closing up the walls.

Do be aware of the strict guidelines of FHA regulations.

To a very large extent, it's because of the costs involved with have full-time regular workers - and much of those costs are due to government regulations, taxes, mandates, Obamacare, etc.

There are questions on how the new regulations will twist things around but the earlier you can get the deal done the better.

Also I believe they have an adequate amount of knowledge of plumbing and electrical, but obviously not as much as a standalone licensed electrician/plumber.

My goal is to get a maintenance guy to handle all my needs on the property, until then i'll be doing most of the work and getting a certified guy (electric/plumbing) to check my work which will save me in the long run.I haven't been on Bigger Pockets since because of how busy I am, but I do listen to the podcasts and articles from the email but you will get all the info you need from this community.

So, if I were to say that I didn't attend a closing this past year, didn't make a loan, didn't swing a hammer, didn't list a property on the MLS or didn't do any installment sale, I would not have the pulse or rhythm of my market or be current in my market and couldn't be current with rules, regulations, laws or ordinances applicable to RE?
