Charles,I would suggest you place you money with an experienced investor and take an equitable position on a flip project.

@Lexi Teifke - As always, the theory like the theory, but in practice is what counts.The internal rate of return hurts my brain just to read the definition, never mind calculating it: internal rate of return on an investment or project is the "annualized effective compounded return rate" or rate of return that sets the net present value of all cash flows (both positive and negative) from the investment equal to zero.

Our website is blufftonscrentals.com.

If so how would this position be billed?

Does anyone know anything positive or negative about this area? 

I've been on this website quite a few times and have started reading the introductory book by Brandon Turner, "The Book on Rental Property Investing". 

Your properties should ideally pay for themselves with some positive cash flow.  

Can anyone recommend a Mortgage Broker in Halifax, NS (or surrounding areas) that you have worked with, had a positive relationship, and that have experience with RE Investors?

Do you have a website?

I do like how you put them in the position to make a decision right then and there.
