Thanks, @Ryan Mullin, I will for sure reach out to @Derek Lacy

I am about to renew my rental property insurance, and any recommendation will be appreciated. 

Just curious, what does a real estate accountant do? I all my real estate transactions, I never used an accountant... 

I never buy condos, due to high HOA fees and slow appreciation...

Still looking for recommendations....

@Sam Lucio They replaced the whole mailbox post, so I think it's a reasonable price and did not argue with my PM. 

@Roy N. I won't be surprised, as even banks/lenders don't need title insurance for mortgages to get approved!

Thanks, @Roy N., I am kind of expecting your input...

Do you mean that title insurance in Canada covers fewer cases than in the US?

I am shocked to hear that. I have never seen the finance on a real estate transaction getting approved without title insurance. What if there is a lien or debt on the property! Though the agent, the bank and the lawyer all claimed the they have done the title search and checked with the city, but I think this is just too risky. Should I insist on buying the title insurance? This is in Great vancouver in BC, Canada.

I have read several BPers who wrote that they moved to the real estate industry because they wanted to retire early. I am just curious how much net worth (equity) would you be satisfied or feel safe enough to retire?
