Pricelab's advantage is that it is a much more robust pricing tool with many more options to customize your pricing/stay length algorithmically and better algorithms to find the right price. 

Just so I am on the same wave length with your initial post, it seems to me that you are saying that investing in the S&P 500 over the last 16 years would have been more profitable than investing in real estate (specifically you used a SFH comparison).  

And even at 1 Million, you would want to buy it with all cash to get a return, otherwise you are waiting until the mortgage is paid off to get any return, and over the years be it 15 or 30 year mortgage, you will have capital expenses like new roof, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. which will push out the length of time before you make money.I hope we get some more comments from people near your market. 

Mortgage terms in Canada do not run the length of the amortization as is common with residential financing in the U.S.A..  

For example current job and length of employment, spouse current job and length of employment. tax returns for two years, Banking history, most of the time they would like to see 3 months of all active bank accounts, and your credit score.

It's also very helpful to meet other wholesalers and investors who can tell you if your results are low, average, or above average for the area based on their experience, and what length of time you can expect to market before seeing results.Best of luck and reach out if I can help with anything else!

However, one end of it is inside the sink cabinet, the other end of it where it connects to the stack is behind the bathroom, where there is a tub the whole length, and tiled wall (with no spare tiles). 

To keep the tax-preferred status of the plan, there are rules surrounding keeping all plan activities at arm's length and avoiding any self-dealing or dealing with disqualified parties (lineal family for the most part). 

Here is what I have seen, but either way agree that managing a few units on your own, if for a set length of time is a great education and highly encouraged.  

I would be sure to speak at great length to @Andrew Syrios who owns and manages a lot of single family in the urban core of Kansas City and to @Jan Pauley  and to @Chris Lengquist and @Chris Dawson and @JJ Pawlowski as they all know the ins and outs of the Kansas City Urban Core Markets.The Kansas City urban core is a great place to make money if you know what you are doing, I have been in real estate for 15 years and we had 50 urban core Kansas City Houses and we sort of knew what we were doing, we did our homework, we were hands on and lost our shirts.
