Myself and the other owner filed a partition suit in order to obtain a court order to sell the house.

If you find an older 3 bd 2ba house with an office, and can tear down a walls and remodel into a 3bd 2ba with a swanky master suite, you might be able to force your value up 20% as well as have a more desirable property... this will take more money up front than the 20%, unless you have big credit cards and are willing to use them.... keep in mind, refinancing with a bank can take months.I hope these thoughts help

I work with Mogul Realty Group in Edmonton and I literally scour the market day in and day out for suited bungalows and small multi-family.There's a suited duplex that I'm looking at right now (Legal duplex with non-conforming suites in each basement) List : $624kRents : Unit 1,2 $1,350 each Unit 3,4 $950 each = $4,600It cashflows about $1000/month including property managementIt's between and 8-9 cap.

The first step is to decide what you want to accomplish through real estate investing.Then just dive in.It can be as simple as renting a room or adding a rental suite to your existing home.or as complicated and big as you want to get.I enjoy answering tenant relation questions, if you ever have any.

It is great you are taking the first step to get educated and starting to focus on what kind of real estate you want to invest in.I think you will find on this site, that there are many ways to participate.Step one could even be as simple as renting out a room or some space in your current home.Maybe add a rental suite.

Office location that suits your needs is one my my large priorities with fewer distractions is very important.  

On smaller deal like the one you mention, there may not be enough money involved to justify a suit if you get cheated.  

I have been looking at houses with basement suites on the eastside.

Just be ready to jump on a deal that suits your criteria and comes your way.
