In preparation for that moment I would recommend evaluating/analyzing the investment to better understand what is required.I believe that Opportunity Funds will present a rather large incentive to those wishing to "cash out" on their investments by selling their assets and exchanging their proceeds into a qualified opportunity fund.

You can find out rents at rent-o-meter.com, although I'm not sure they service Canada.

Thanks.B/rLuis Thank you for your service & of course welcome to the site.Here are some of my thoughts for you & those of you reading this who may be in a similar position looking to invest with a turnkey provider &/or an out of state ground team of sorts. 

In fact, I had to yank the 3rd floor kitchen, pull the 3rd gas meter, and "upgrade" the electrical to two separate service panels instead of 3. 

Instead of it being me me me look at me the real estate agent, it should be more about the end client in mind. you should be thinking about how much you actually want to service that client before you even have him as a lead. 

If you know your market, find the deals that cash flow and are prepared to hold long term most investors should be fine.

I did not get into this to just get by and was prepared to risk it all for success.

The less prepared you are, the more you must rely on other people and hope they give you good advice.

First and foremost, I need a great real estate agent who is able to provide stellar service and won't be turned off by individual smaller priced homes. 

Remember Fannie uses debt-to-income (DTI) but the commercial loan uses debt service coverage ratio (DSCR).
