My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

Basically, more than a certain amount of STR and MTR in the same building were considered a hotel and I would have had to have 24/7 staff on site.Were you able to get around that with the local municipality?

Please let me know if you need more info to create a clearer picture.Thank you.That is actually a good question to get advice from a local estate attorney on.

Are you local to the property?

Evan,  As a local broker, I’ve assisted many clients with the entity transfer process, often referred to as a "drop and swap."

All you need are local vendors you know...with texting and internet, and good tenants.  

I've also signed up for New Orleans REI meet ups in the upcoming weeks in hopes of making valuable connections in the local market. 

I drop them and use a competent local RE agent, who did a great job.
