Thanks to the further economic polarization of Canadian society, a, perhaps larger, subset of today's students are going to university with largess in the financial support department and will pay 1100 - 1500/month for a 2-bedroom (each room with its own bath).  

Also, make sure to purchase the most economical and quality materials you can find.

We do our best to adapt to legislative and economical changes as they occur, but at no time do we, or have we ever promised a guarantee on the performance of your liens.

While the Waterville area is economically stronger than much of central Maine, rents are very low - student housing is very cheap to find, there are nice condos in Waterville that rent for well under $1000, and to purchase a home in the area is very affordable. 

Clearly, people prefer city life, and that has transformed just about every facet of economic and political life, including the real estate markets here in America and around the globe, especially in developing countries, where 96 percent of all urbanization by 2030 will occur.Urbanization creates challenges and opportunities.

Raleigh and Dallas stand out as two that seem underserved compared to the economic growth.Do you guys have other good sectors or cities to weather the storm?

Owning large storage "garages" financially makes solid economic sense. 

They've been there for 5 years, that's all I know.So I have potential long term tenants in one of the units already, but its the unit I would be living in (access to basement, garage, etc.), So I'd either ask them to move into Unit 2, or ask them to vacate the property and have the tenants I have lined up move into Unit 2.  

I've used both websites with varying degrees of success.I will say that if you want to go the more economical route in hiring a VA, you might be dealing with someone who's native language is not English (I experienced this a few times using Upwork).

One thing to consider with ductless is the layout of your units .... the more open and better air circulation, the more effective a ductless unit will be.However, as several of us stated above and your energy audit revealed, you get the most bang-for-your buck by improving the air sealing (first) and insulation (second) of the building envelope.While solar photovoltaic (electricity) is not economically viable here (or in most of NA), we have had success with solar thermal as a heating source for domestic hot water.
