@Ron N  You are correct Ron now you add in your canadian pension and employment insurance it is 6.83% plus your 46.84% you are at 53.67%  The last time the canadian dollar was on par was Feb 2013 .It has slid 27.5%since My only point is that when one invests overseas currency and taxes are a consideration I would gladly pay extra taxes to enjoy your fine health care system and the many other social benefits of Canada now back to the conversation.

You might be able to find some type of paid position working somewhere in the industry where you can get more hands on type of experience, maybe working for someone doing construction project management, appraisals, construction, or as an agent (depending on the health of the market in your area) and your interest.

Many of the new (health) codes etc required very expensive upgrades as most originally had a single large system in place.

Yup, that new…ANYWAY, I’m looking for advice on an idea I have about renovating a space for a future tenant.We have a commercial space with 4 offices sharing a shared waiting room.One of which my business partner (and wife) operates her therapy practice out of.We were approached by an established massage therapy practice who is interested in renting all three offices.My wife doesn’t feel like she wants to be the only metal health therapist in HER building.

The contractor hired to fix it went to the municipality to get a permit for the excavation, and the town called the state health dept. who came and condemned the building and told all tenants they had to leave within 12 HOURS.I personally had a situation where I bought a foreclosure that was occupied, that has been very rare in my experience, of the hundreds of foreclosures that I bought I can think of only a handful of times where a property was occupied.
