I am looking to buy fixer upper homes in Calgary, but I am going to spend most of my time finding deals. 

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Yes, this will be an entry level job, but it gives you experience, gives you income to be able to even start buying single family rentals, if you want, gives you connections in the industry (not always investors, but people you may need later on).  

Also, plan on getting capacity for a level 2 electric vehicle charger and capacity for electric ovens/stoves and electric dryers.

It's important to understand the difference, and I'd recommend sticking with the REIT with depreciation advantages.The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) includes a 199A deduction and applies to certain income from pass-through entities (including REIT dividends) and allows individuals to take the 20% deduction against REIT dividend distributions that yields an effective tax rate of 29.6% or 37% (80% for upper bracket filers).

Hi @Shibu ThomasThere are many garden level apartments in my area, They have low ceilings and sound similar to what you are describing. 

What level of engagement do I really want with my properties?

There's no right or wrong way to do this, just varying levels of risk and the only proper route is the one you understand.

For sure, don't just believe what a few luddites on BP have to say.One of the few in here who understands the space from a macro level.
