I'd agree with what @Jesse Danzig said above in regards to management, maintenance, and vacancy at 10%.

They have a philosophy of keeping the dues low and when something big comes up they typically have a special assessment.

@patrick philipWell, if there's no room to negotiate a low price to allow for rehab and then arv, what do you think?

I don't have vacancy rates for Bedford but I'm guessing they're pretty low.

Book on low and no money down has some good information (such as Joint ventures) but a lot of the options are less useful in Canada.

Should I be going after traditional real estate deals (since there are lots and lots more of them available, even with a low inventory), or keep pouring everything into my wholesale marketing budget?

@Josh BryanI train in lease purchase and sub 2, see my posts on negotiating w sellers terms deals, pretty houses low equity

Fargo has actually grown and seen an increase in demand for housing with a simultaneous decrease in unemployment, which was already ridiculously low, since the oil 'bust'.  

Notice how they see comps in their preferred area of say high $400's, but THEY only pay in the say low $200's?

With interest rates incredibly low (I think the best online savings I've seen is about 1.25%), what opportunities may I be missing?
