I would strongly consider a different vehicle; maybe not a $2K beater as suggested, but something reliable, with lower insurance, and minimal, or in your case based upon the 11% interest rate, NO payment.  11% interest rate on a car loan says your credit profile isn’t where it needs to be.  

A number of reasons for this including the obvious things like low sales of trashed houses or start sales in the area.Also if buying a properly rehabbed house you often are buying the best house in the street and it may have had a lot of money put into it which is not going to be reflected int he appraisal as there is always a ceiling on a streets value.And as has already been stated zillow is not a reliable valuation tool. 

@Martin NealWhat would your your mortgage lender say if you are late they wouldn't put up with that so why are you second I would get a property manager ASAP I would distance myself from your tenants as quickly as possible in a reliable and dependable people you'll get that with a property manager with better screening and vetting

Very thorough, reliable and communicative.

I have a very good and reliable general contractor and property manager which I completely trust as an investor in Montreal, but I am searching for the right real estate agent.

This is where you will need to empathize with their situation, to get the relative to hopefully give you a new number at best, or pass along your number.I use fastpeoplesearch.com for my phone numbers, it's been pretty reliable. 

But going on 19 years, I was able to verify with records from energy company, this is surely a grandfathered issue.

I'm putting a lot of energy towards educating myself about all the intricacies of the business, of course while working on a good marketing and networking strategy.
