It's waterfowl, big game, and fishing that has me searching for property in Saskatchewan. 

After some research and thinking and with all the help I received on this platform I have decided to go for it and treat it as a learning opportunity and to get ahead of the game.

It does sound like they are not on top their game if you have to push them to backcharge the tenant, but no one is perfect.

Especially if they are also waiving conditions and inspections.....you will never win.So if you can't compete with your opponent in the game, find another game.....go where they are not.Ask yourself questions.....where are cash buyers not going to want to buy?

Real estate is a numbers game, if you talk to enough people you will come across a deal.

Many hard/private money lenders overlook that and some even lend with no skin in the game, although not common without a prior relationship and or track record.3.

And it's great that you're so open-minded to remotely owning out-of-state real estate.The Northeast has a lot of high-paying jobs - the best thing you can do is save your income, then take that capital and re-deploy it to Southern STR real estate.I'd strongly suggest NOT getting a property manager (waste of money) & always looking for ways to innovate & improve - there's a lotta money to be made in this game!

So far only single-family homes in 5 counties around the bay.I’m looking to step up my game into multi families.Any suggestions?

I have a competent and trustworthy friend that is great in many aspects of construction and rehabbing.

I'm new to the game as well, i'd be happy to connect w/you :)
