Well, this my opinion, if you like unpredictability, constant change and people/contractors with no regards to you or your property then "YES" flips and STRs are the way to go...LOL....I love it!!! 

This is a self directed RRSP or TFSA account that allows you to lend your money out to people with the backing of their mortgage for a high interest rate. 1st, 2nd, 3rd mortgages, down payments, refinances, flipping or renovation money.

Thank you James, you’re right, it’s so much easier dealing with the right people who as you stated, shoot you straight!

We have several people living in these homes.

What the people that I talk to find is that they don't need to be confined to one area.  

First month free only attracts people who move every 12 months.

Some people only want 10-20% of their outstanding lines/debt balances available while the other 80-90% to be in fixed rate notes.

A lot of people haven't even heard of it.

The audacity people have to trash your place, treat you like garbage and want their money back. 

Joining investor meetups in your area can also help you build relationships with experienced investors who may offer mentorship or even potential partnerships.Finally, don’t underestimate the power of letting people know your plans.
