How do agents pull comps?

I can get tenant quickly according the CMA I pulled, less than 30 days.  

Additionally, I'm front loading the CapEx reserves and will gradually pull back as I approach a figure that I'm cortfable with given many variables of course. 

Congrats you are helping my make a stronger push to pull the trigger for the first time myself!!!

According to statcan the average household expenses are just over 80k a year. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l...Also according to statcan the median household income is UNDER 80khttp://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l...Therefore the average Canadian is loosing money each year...Maybe we might start seeing more families pulling money out of their homes.

They did pull my credit report because they wanted to verify a history of me doing deals and successful payoffs of loans.  

Again, this assumes there are no other mtgs/liens on the property. thats great then. thats what i thought. i think after making the deal we just get a RE attorney - and he should be able to pull in all parties and artifacts of closing.thank you.PS - this should be possible with a financed sale also, btw. but i dont want to keep on going.

I pulled out cash from that to buy another investment property in California that is considered a vacation home, but I am also renting out for short-term vacation rental when we're not using it.

If we are going to rehab the basement we need to pull permits on the property to keep city involved on that front because if a disgruntled tenant or neighbor finds out you're doing something without city involvement they might call you out.  

Also, if no one lives there, and no forwarding address, you will get the letters back so you can pull them off your list...
