I 'googled it' a couple different ways and found nothing of the sort......?

It's great to hear about your experience with different rental platforms – Airbnb and Booking.com for short stays, and Furnished Finder for mid-term rentals.

It's really going to depend on what your wants, needs and desires are with the property and what level of comfort you have with being remote with respect to the different variables necessary to run a successful VR.  

You will sell the house for 550K and a great agent would create a sales environment to get you 650K see the difference?  

I'll play devil's advocate, at that price you might as well invest in multifamily units. 3-4 unit properties are selling in the low $200K and with an average rent of $700/unit, you get better cash flow and spread out risk (1/3 units vacant versus the house 100% vacant.)You do your inspections and make necessary improvements upfront to offset the risks with buying a "used" property instead of brand new construction.Alternatively, how much of a price difference between new construction and a remodeled home?

Size, proximity to town, etc.Different land types sell better in different channels.

It has made a huge difference for me understanding my data and I have nothing negative to say about it at all. 

Bottom line is it’s a bit different in Canada and your best strategy is to add a mortgage agent as part of your “team” along with realtor, lawyer, property manager, etc. 

But here I am, trying to put a really strong offer in on a home and I’m not sure if I should go in with the mindset that it’s a 3b/2ba 1,895 sq ft or a 4b/2ba 2,055 sq ft… Seeing as I’m going to rent this one day, if I myself decide to get it assessed/permitted as square footage (which I don’t know how much of a pain it truly is), I ran some rent estimators online (RentCast.io) and the rental comp differences between those two scenarios is about $2,275/monthly vs. $2,600/monthly, which is huge! 

What they do differently is find off-market deals through various lead sources they created over time, and they're supposed to send them your way according to your criteria.
