I wrote the above for informational purposes.

Let me know if you need information about the areas of town or if you would like help walking properties, etc! 

Are there other players in this field that I should be aware of and consider talking to before making a final decision?

That's great information. 

Then if I have additional concerns I call in an expert to get further information and an estimate on what the repair will cost.

This was a free REIA meeting, and I had been to several seminars and trainings filled with vague and unhelpful common-sense information before. 

Curious where you pulled the information from? 

The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

I have a couple clients in Canada and I can give you their information to talk to them and connect.
