Can anyone recommend a quality property manager in the Oshawa area? Thanks in advance!

In regards to the 7.25% fee for CMHC, as I understand it, that is tax deductible for you. I`m double-checking with my accountant but that is the major reason I am going ahead with it for the purchase of one of my properties closing soon. I plan on using the cash I had for the downpayment...
