For me, I wanted to know as much about the buying process as possible, in addition to having access to MLS and the ability to earn an income numerous ways within the same profession. 

Hi folks, I'm new and working on my first flip and have hired a contractor who turns out to be a crook, like an actual criminal record in numerous states.

It is a condo where everything not inside your unit is a common element or a community of SFRs with private roads and some park-like or recreational common areas?

The 3 elements above will go a long way to getting you this, but you will still need the vision and skills to spot trouble and execute to avoid it.If you are unable and/or unwilling to find a deal that meets the above requirements, then do not force a deal that gives you none or only a few ... in that case you are better off sitting on cash or looking at another strategy or asset class to invest in, but those other investments should also have similar such requirements to give you the margin of safety to make it through a downturn when (not if) it happens.

Maybe the roles of the people involved need to be clarified.Does First Services Residential manage the Condo Association as an Association, such has keeping books, monitoring for violations, managing contractors, etc (and therefore subject to the regulations) or does it simply do physical repairs to the common and limited common elements?  

Both Building Materials and Certiain building elements. 

For example, you may have refinanced a property numerous times as the property value increases, and then the property value drops significantly during a recession.

I've seen numerous real estate agents selling properties with unpermitted additions.

And like it's been stated numerous times already, even if it's legal, you do realize that your tenants could then retaliate and damage your property?

I have gone over numerous posts looking for answers to my questions and many have been found.
