And if you really want to do it right you have to put each one in an individual LLC, as the whole point is to build firewalls between your assets.

I just recently found this site a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed the great info BP provides and community of like-minded individuals helping each other reach their financial goals.  

This is our first rental property so we are new to what all to expect/demand from a property management.

There are individual characteristics such as knowledge of the each strategy, knowledge of market, determination, ability to find deals, create teams, personal finances and ability to obtain loans and fund deals.

Looking for a HVAC personal that will convert a 6 unit building from boilers to individual heating system and wont break the bank doing so.

start fully documenting everything and take lots of pictures, I would start communicating via email or by letter, even send them a certified letter stating damages etc, sounds like you didn't hire a qualified roofer. send a copy of everything to your attorney maybe even have him draft a letter demanding a response, if push for a refund + damages and go with a new roofer

My intention has been to live here and then rent it out when I am ready for a more permanent home, as it is in an area with high demand (including a pool and workout facility). 

I have owned several business in the past with other partners and am looking forward to starting another company with the right individuals.

@Jeremy Zwicker: I like the Antigonish market as well , most are certainly cashflow plays as there is little to no appreciation there, however, if the property is well situated and you provide a nice living space, you will have very low vacancy due to the high demand for off campus student housing and rents are comparable to the HRM.

At the end of the day, it is up to the individual to figure out what they like best as everyone has their own preference just like anything.
