Matt McKeever has a great channel on youtube for real estate investing in Canada.

So far every traveler I have communicated with have been great. 

I find the houses and message them, they are spotty with communication, and there isn’t any push to find deals for me.

Based on the little I know about yours, I would say that syndication has a bit of an advantage since you seem to be focused on (and want to continue to focus on) your YouTube channel/Podcasting.Throwing in a few SFHs or small MFs certainly won't hurt and will create a more balanced portfolio.

For example, even though you may not be required to make significant repairs, if you communicate with your tenant and get to a mutually beneficial situation, you may avoid the possibility of having your tenant leave and then possibly having to do significant repairs.

Communicating with tenants and inspecting the property throughout the year?

The banker had communicated that rates might change and I think we were quoted in the mid/high 5%, perhaps 5.88% if my memory serves.  

I'm not sure of ALL the channels they sync with but I use it for ABB and VRBO and provides an app for my cleaners so they can follow their own schedule. 

it turns out that this property is considered an estate and some of the adopted kids are specials needs who can't exactly communicate with ease and it's causing issues.

Communicate these minimums to anyone who inquires before the open house, it will save you from dealing with tire kickers who would not qualify to rent your place anyway.Have an application ready for interested parties to fill out (a lot of templates on the forums and online you can use for this) and charge a fee based on how much the background check will cost you on your end to run.
