So in Antigonish, which does have a university and a hospital but isn't growing, the cap rates are maybe 8-10% while in Halifax, particularly the HRM, which has numerous economic drivers and IS growing, the cap rates are around 4%...i agree with you Jeremy about the low vacancy and tax rates in Antigonish. 

Fremont took number one for lowest separation and divorce rate in the study so maybe staying married is the key to happiness? 

I think you are in a great position with numerous choices available to you.

My advice would be to:1. stay in contact w/ seller2. ask what price and what TERMS (fast close, cash, etc) they would take immediately or without hesitation3. see if you can visit the property in the meantime 4. get your $ ready so you can go when they're readyAll the best!

It doesn't sound like you'd have to hold the property for a long time and if you're doing a cash-deal there's no mortgage to pay but it still doesn't sound like there's a ton of spread here.And you can take on that a few round-trip plane tickets, hotel stays, etc. for you since you're doing this deal and living in Wisconsin!

This is to ensure our schedule stays full and the client does not disappear come start time for the project.6.

If you have a fixed rate amortizing loan, your mortgage payment stays the same from year to year, but property taxes and property insurance premiums tend to increase. 

I would really like to stay with them and was wondering if my agent was just mistaken.I also have my vehicles insured through them.Thanks!
