The house is blasted to hell but the realtor told me that the house had tours all weekend long and the final bid review would take place Sunday evening.

A next day repair, considering the day it went out fell on a weekend afternoon, sounds reasonable to me. 

I attended the Flip-A-Rama this past weekend and it was very informative. 90% of the people I've met through this organization have been friendly and helpful, and I believe you would benefit form checking out a meetup. 

With vacancy, especially like people booking weekends in advance that block your week or multi week long rentals, I’ve often netted more money with the longer term customer / sure thing.

I just stayed at an Evolve-managed property this weekend.

So would it be possible to have the Kingston house as my primary as I could live in the basement and rent out the upstairs during the weekend and then during the week live with my parents in Toronto?

Yet, property owners consistently think EVERYTHING they want should be included.How many property owners would agree to consistently work extra hours each day and weekends at their day jobs with no additional compensation?

Have a great weekend!

Had 10+ offers after being on the market for one weekend. 

Spend a weekend in town to see potential neighborhoods.
