Hey folks, I'm working on a platform designed to help property owners unlock cash tied up in their real estate without taking additional debt. If this is something that sounds interesting, I need need need your feedback to make sure this gets executed properly.

I'm particularly looking to chat with people who are already property owners in Canada (ideally Ontario), to get a better sense of your needs, challenges and anything else you can share. If this is you, please reach out, I'd love to have a quick chat! 

Thanks in advance, and I'm looking forward to learning from this community.

Happy to chat. 

Just private message me to set up a time.

Hi Dion.  Do you have some set parameters for what you will purchase?

I have a portfolio in Ontario.  Small portfolio yet maybe it would be of interest.

Post: Using RRSP money for Rent to Own or Subject To ?

Quote from @Sarah Maraj:

@Caley Crossman Hi I had the same question you had. I am in a position where my rent will be increased significantly soon, and I was making plans to buy a home in the next 2-3 years already.  So, I am in a position right now where I am looking to get into a rent to own program so I can move into my own home. However I may need more cash to give to rent to own as a down payment to move into the house after their investor purchases it. I was wondering if I can use my RRSP to give to the rent to own?  Does anyone know this answer, or can help lead me to it? Any experience or advise will be helpful. Thanks 

Also, @Roy Cleeves Do you have any insight on this? You mentioned arm's length. I am not sure about this. I wonder if the investor (rent to own) will accept RRSP as a down payment. Does anyone know which rent to own company is best for this option? ( In London, and St. Thomas Ontario Area) 


 Hi Sarah - best to try JAAG - they do Rent to Own.  They are in London.  +1 866-522-4669.

Hi Christian:  TD Canada Trust has the affiliate of TD Bank in Florida.  I think it would be worthwhile for you to chat with your local TD branch about the ability to get a USA mortgage via TD Bank in the USA.  They may be able to do that since your parents could go onto the loan and they would have a credit score to use and income and you have the downpayment.  This is all theory in my mind. :)

Best Wishes
