I'm merely relaying the impression I have been given about writing off education expenses.

I have worked with him in the past and was very impressed. 

John Thedford Thanks for your questions.For 1, (and all other issues), every investor I’ve come across so far (not to say all of them will) have the same first impression as you all.

I'm looking to buy cash flowing properties because it's virtually impossible to do so in the GTA, and if it is possible the cap rate isn't nearly as impressive as New York and the properties are in a lot rougher shape.

I'm under the impression that it should be much easier to get rid of a garage tenant than residential.

If your exteriors look really bad you may never get anyone inside to see any work you have done on the inside, so you need to give it some curb appeal.Don't forget about the leasing office as that will give them the first impression. 

Don't let the first impression of Pittsburgh fool you.

You want the house but you can't chase them leaving the impression that it may be worth what they want when it's not.

If it where me, I would go more of the smart home route, which given the size is going to be an undertakingThe front exterior entrance is not very impressive, given the neighborhood standards.

You can provide bottles of wine, passes to local breweries, or anything you can think that will leave a lasting impression.
