I’m currently studying and practicing analyzing deals.

Lower Maintenance - downsizing typically reduces the amount of labor required to maintain the home because there is less area available to clean.

So in a nutshell, it is like any skill, take the time to study and learn the values in your area. 

I am studying rental income and my objective is to buy rental properties in the US.

Such as maintaining the garden, cleaning the wood stove, winterizing the windows etc. 

So they typically require quite a lot of capital to update and maintain, as they are typically being offloaded by investors who've owned them for many many years and are now at a point where they aren't worth keeping.

We managed 20 doors while maintaining full time jobs.  

So all those leaves or runoff with turn your nice pretty stone right back into a weed filled sand pit if not properly maintained.

Depending on where you hold your license, there can be monthly, quarterly, yearly dues that can cost hundreds of dollars to maintain.

I have an innate interest in real estate and plan to pursue a career specifically in the property management industry.I plan to study a Postgraduate Diploma in Management once my undergrad is complete.
