Private message me for details about the deal if you're interested.

Also, by doing these recordings, you will force yourself to pay attention to every aspect and detail that might need attention, without really annoying the showing agent by slowing the viewing down too much.Lastly, go online and look for housing inspection check lists--there are dozens listed there, and then check for your local 'repair costs'. 

In a lot of ways, C, C+, B, etc are in the eye of the beholder, so look for a place you (and potential compatible tenants/roommates) will be comfortable moving around in every day and forget what grade someone else might give it.Once you have the basic requirements decided, I'd go on a real estate sales site (Zillow is my personal favorite, but also Redfin, Realtor.com etc) and just start looking around at listings in your price range to find affordable neighborhoods to target and start driving around, then drive drive drive.

My eyes have been opened to the endless opportunities in Real Estate Investing.

Can you share details on how you found the deal?

For the next investment , we are planning to do another multi-unit on the peninsula but also have an eye on Antigonish and Wolfville for student rentals in the future.

Its right on the lakefront and goes through the 4th of July, so its pretty cool to watch your band from one eye, while watching the fireworks over the water with the other.

Thank you all for the wonderful detailed advice.

The realtor will just be another set of eyes for you and can be very valuable.

If you're going through a realtor to purchase it that realtor should be giving you a discounted listing on the resale so that should save you a % or so.If you want to PM me I can comp it for you if you want another set of eyes on it
