Pete and visit my family up there frequently. 

My advice is to house hack the property that you end up purchasing.

My buddy has a 15+ year track record, and we'll be partnering up on this, so I'm looking to leverage my sales skills to bring in new partners.

I am planning to live in the main house with my grandma so I can save up some cash.

The best way to set yourself up to invest is to be financially prepared.

If you are looking for cash flow typically multiple unit properties are going to be your best bet but might require a little more work up front and there are not a lot of them around the area to scoop up right now.

I'm giving myself a year to learn all I can and save up a down payment for my first long-term rental in my local area.

These properties are built with cash flow in mind and are located in areas that are both up-and-coming and stable.

My passion lies in real estate investment, and I am currently working on becoming a successful real estate investor in the Halifax/HRM area.Growing up, I was fortunate enough to learn the ins and outs of the real estate industry from my father, who owned and managed 65 units.

As the new buyer, I would assume you walked the property and are familiar with how the "long term" tenant keeps things up.
