Hey everyone! 

I am currently in the process of looking into buying my first rental property, however, I live in Toronto and the properties I am looking at are in Windsor due to my price point. Since it is 4 hours away, I obviously need a property management company. Does anyone have any referrals for property management companies in this area? Also, what are your experiences like using a property management company? Is there anything I should be aware of with using them? 

Thanks!

@Marko Agbaba Ive been looking into student rental primarily, still a learning curve and looking for the right deal but I'm hoping to jump in soon before I transition jobs!

Going to Windsor this weekend to look at properties man, it looks like a great place with potential! 

Thank you @Clark Kirkpatrick! Ill be viewing properties in two weeks time. Getting basic numbers from agents until then :)

Hello everyone!

I'm looking into purchasing my first investment property. I live in Toronto Ontario and I am thinking of buying a duplex close to the University of Windsor. I found two duplexes, both close to the university, need some TLC.

Since this is my first, I'm still trying to gather information nessisary to make a more informed decision.

Any advice when looking for your first property? Looking for some guidance on my first purchase.

Much appreciated! 🙏

Dominic

@Dylan Earl Thank you!! If I go down the route of that duplex this helps a lot! I am debating between a duplex in London or a multiplex (6-7) units in Windsor currently. Crunching numbers this weekend!

hey @Hai Loc, did you end up investing in Windsor? I'm looking into it as well. The prices are really cheap and I am there once a month as it is. Anyone have info on Windsor? Is it a good time to get in there? 

Hey guys,

I am looking to buy a duplex that is currently being rented out. Both units are being rented out well below market value, and they are large units. I want to evict the tenants in order to make renovations and charge market level prices. They are currently on a month to month agreement. 

If I purchase the property, will they have to renegotiate with me? Will I have issues raising rent from 900/month to $1200?, what are the laws around renovating income property?

Thank you!
