Hi Shawn, When I left banking during the last major crash and started this company, we primarily were a commercial bridge lender, but we also were a real estate investor.

We just discovered a crack in the concrete slab foundation that is a borderline major problem:- It is a vertical crack about 1/8 inch wide that is at least 9ft long, which is causing a 3/4 inch drop in the flooring and some evidence of old (luckily) limited moisture and termite intrusion. - BUT, it also appears old and probably a symptom of the original house settling.

The job market is strong due to major companies moving and developing here like Intel, Amazon, Google, etc. and there's a steady population growth and strong rental demand.

There are major warnings for people looking to build.

@Rajagopalarao Paidi Do a flat fee MLS listing ($100-$200) so you get the listing on the MLS and all major websites.

The Bigger Pockets community and podcast has been a major resource and mentor in helping me learn the ropes of real estate investing.

Quote from @Laura Morlock: I have an opportunity to purchase a very beautiful and unique property - striking century manor house directly on the river, 1.5 acres, huge detached garage/workshop, in a quaint little town 15 mins to two major cities and a little under an hour west of Toronto.I know the property inside and out, it's turnkey, and I would love to own it, but I don't know what to do with it.
