The "challenge" is to identify changes that can increase rents and decrease operating expenses, which will increase cash flow.Aside from operational expenses, you have an opportunity to affect cash flow through how you have your property leveraged.

CHANGES in NOI either increases or decreases the value. 

The rental inventory is decreasing as people move here, so rents are increasing.

.- what is the jurisdiction planning (is anything is coming in the future to increase/decrease value)? 

I have been trying to sell my rental property here in Calgary and for the past few years but the market price keep decreasing where my mortgage owed = market price, currently almost no equity in thereI've considered/ tried following: - conventional way using realtor - even though seller's realtor willing to take less commission, no guarantee that buyer's realtor is willing to do it as well.- agreement for sale/ rent to own - fail because tenant buyer defaulted.- no fee/ low fee realtor brokerage (commfree, 1% realty etc.) - actually they charge more than what it shows in the ad.- direct marketing through kijiji, facebook, reach out to my real estate investor friends for direct sale or another rent to own - this is what I am doing now.- 1% fee realtor website (bodecanada) - this is pretty new and I start to put my property there- rent out to tenants - this is what I am doing nowMy property is half duplex with illegal walk out basement suite so I rent out upstairs for $1200 and basement for $700.

These can help you get around the debt:income ratio because you usually have an equity bump during the Rehab phase (thus decreasing the debt on the house).2) Private Lending- this is exactly what it sounds like.

I could just as easily turn the place into a section 8 property and the government paid me fair market rent and still allow her to live there decreasing her rent to around $20-$40.

Everything happens in this account and any expenses for the property don't decrease my other income. 

I wouldn't say demand is decreasing, but it finally seems steady.

If it's in a great area the value is not going to decrease, right?
