Also, I would look at your original scope and compare with his change order invoice to see if any of the them items are the same or billed twice.

I own a half-duplex that I live in, but for investment purposes, my home city is too expensive for rental properties to have a good cap rate, so I’m looking to buy elsewhere in Canada.

The purpose here is to create enough captured equity that I'll be able to 1031 the houses (defer taxes) and afford the larger loan for a multi-family later on.

Over the past two years between rentals and flips I have bought and sold over 30 properties and I keep asking myself should I get my real estate license again solely for the purpose of handling my own transactions and having my own access to the MLS?

Then when looking at potential deals, you can compare them to your criteria and see how well they meet your goals.

I own a couple of fourplexes in Texas, and the appraiser used comparables from other fourplexes in the neighborhood to give me the values.

They also have more of an investor mindset compared to residential Realtors.

Hi Ricardo Welcome to  Connecticut MarketBidgeport is a good market depending the area like any market you can be in a nice are and 2 more  blocks down you'll be in a war zone but the best part is that bridgeport has the most affordable market compare with the others cities closed to NYC like norwalk not even talk about Stamford here the taxes are little high but  the income compensate that be careful with Real Estate Agent that says they are Investor Friendly and they just want you to buy at high price so they get a good commission but over all bridgeport is a big city trying to get betterbest area is black rock but is expensive, Hallow are is good for cash flow but a lot of the area is hot zone, east side war zone but could be some ok section, north end on the border of Trumbull nice are, east end like Stafford ave and Connecticut ave this are in this days is war zone. all of this areas and what I said about them are my point of view so you can see what others investor says about it wish you the best on your investment and see you on the top :-)

The reason I'm looking at it is cause it seems like a nice property compared to what I can get when renting.

I’d like to say I did this on purpose, but I sort of stumbled on it.
