On average, people in this job in Canada earn $57,363 annually according to Neuvoo.
Foreclosure specialist
Foreclosure specialists are responsible for ensuring that the foreclosure of a house goes smoothly. They may review documents such as liens, inspection reports, appraisals, and insurance policies. Also, the foreclosure specialist will go through previous mortgage payments as well as other bank statements.
In Canada, foreclosure specialists can expect to earn $35,100 per year according to Neuvoo.
Leasing consultant
Leasing consultants are slightly similar to property managers, but they work with the tenants more than the property owners themselves. They are employed to assist owners with acquiring new tenants for their properties and to assist tenants with everything concerning their rental property. So, some of their tasks might include processing rent applications, interviewing tenants, explaining pricing and lease terms and negotiating new leases. Additionally, they also assist the tenants by processing maintenance requests and customer service inquiries.
Leasing consultants can earn $33 150 yearly according to Neuvoo.

Real estate investor
The main goal as a real estate investor is to earn profit through selling, buying and maintaining properties. So, their day to day duties consist of researching various properties, analyzing demographics, and identifying profitable and unprofitable properties. They may also negotiate real estate transactions.
