Keep in mind Cmhc polls the larger players, REITS mainly.

You don't have to seek an attorney's professional opinion, but they becomes an essential piece to your team moving forward the larger your portfolio gets.

Plus investors buy the duplexes that remain as duplexes and they often don't want to over pay.I would think that a large single family with an ADU would be worth more than either a single or duplex.BP fans seem to like the small multi-family because it can bring in a larger income than a single family and they think has less risk, less maintenance. 

I would suggest getting a recommendation for a cleaning person instead of a larger company. 

I have one SFH rental property, and 250k liquid.

On a larger scale say 100 investors a week, with the intention of building a relationship based on the quality of work they have done.

I also always received multiple bids for larger projects. 

Also look at any restrictions on sq foot of buildings to square foot of dirt--meaning the vacant seems buildable dirt might not be as buildable as you think (sometimes upscale areas are larger lots than other areas by zoning law). 

@Tracy Schultz if you have 36k liquid there's no reason why you can't start now, we help investors like yourself in these exact scenarios. 

It could be he's selling to liquidate, going into larger deals, or tired of owning homes.
