Key Takeaways:
“I don’t deal with that myself anymore. I don’t recommend people become their own property managers like I did early on.” – Mike Wolf
“I’ve been investing in the US now for around 15 years, and since I started that, I haven’t bought a single property in Canada. So, I think that says something and it’ll be a lot easier for me to invest in Canada all things being equal, but it’s not.” – Mike Wolf
“I think the biggest mistake I see people making is picking a market just because it’s cheap. It’s great to find properties that are inexpensive, but you want to be ideally buying properties that are underpriced in a good market.” – Mike Wolf
