Hi Biggerpockets community, I’ve been hooked to real estate investment lately and determined to buy the first property in the next 6 months.

I have a long history in real estate first being licensed in 2005, then went into financing, back to real estate all while owning my own hospitality business for over 12 years as a single mom of two, building it from the ground up.

I just got off the phone with a real estate developer.

Tenanted properties are extremely challenging to sell and the recent change in notice period has made that worse in BC.You are in a tough spot either way, only you know your financial situation and your numbers.Even after renting it'll not cover even the mortgage interest, let alone other costs.Another alternative is to never sell and keep drawing some cash out of it by refinancing when the interest rate hits a low.

After years of saving, I finally have enough for a nice downpayment on a multi-unit or SFH.

Hi everyone,I’m currently learning as much as I can about real estate investing.

Laura and Brett are the real deal!

i've made offers on hoarder houses before and also cleaned up after tenants abandoned property.the numbers either work, or they don't.

In real estate we say "everyone wants the perfect house, at the perfect location, at the perfect price, but you don't get all three, so pick the two that are most important to you," and this is an example of that.

@Vishal ChandanRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
