I would start with a foundation that you can build up a 4 level structure. Then I would build one level at a time. You will be getting less rent than you would in the US. But for 20,000 and a good plan you can get more units. For ideas on layout check out some me condo layouts in California. This would help you with design ideas to take to your architect and builder. My family has houses we rent in the Caribbean and over time the rents grew and now every 3 years the rent pays for the houses over and over.

You could also cover the rock area with stucco. And have the siding above. Give the place a 2 tone look. But depends on the returns you are looking at. And how much it raise your ARV. Most houses in Alberta do a siding and stucco base.

Horizontal wood siding.

Having the entire side put horizontally will make it nice and uniform and will go nice with the stone. Natural earth colours.

Im now starting of learning about real estate investing. But I think this is the list you are looking for. http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/finance/downloads/pdf/lien_sale/2017/60_day/60-day-non-profits.xlsx Looks like the auction is on may 12, 2017 If it is, let me know. Good luck in the Auctions. Just make sure and do you due diligence.

I wouldn't touch that high interest payment. You would be better off renting for 2 years. Maybe get an extra bedroom in the place you rent and do the airbnb to see how good it can pay. Also try the portfolio lender as mentioned above.
