You are limited in your options if something worse should come along later, such as a large investment going bad.If $10,000 CDN is a show stopper for you, how do you expect to manage a $600,000 CDN property? 

Quote from @Christian Pichardo: Quote from @Caleb Brown: Should you cut your losses and move on?

Since I bought the duplex, I have noticed that ReadyREI tries to limit property viewing as much as possible, and I believe that the reason for this is clear - it is to hide issues and the condition of the property as much as possible.When I first spoke with Ready REI, I was told that they provide a “turnkey” house, that nothing needed to be done to get it ready for occupancy.

My last visit was in 2021 and owners were limited to one guest per month.

You mentioned that your DTI is over 50% with less 10% down, so that's not an option....that 50% limit isn't necessarily a hard-and-fast rule, so you may still be okay @ less than 20% down (not to mention not all lenders calculate income the same way).

They usually sell for a really attractive price because investment property financing is (obviously) difficult, somewhat limiting the buyer pool to owner-operator small business owners (who in turn are typically great clients, as well).  

I am exploring this area and have heard some noise regarding the further limitations on beach access points along the coast, creating some havoc for str owners.

Or buy a thermal camera to check for heat losses, they have gotten really cheap. 

Third: even if your new toy qualifies for a huge depreciation deduction, your allowable deduction may be limited, and may even be zero.

If your goal is to grow faster, buying rent ready properties isn't the usual way to do that if you have limited funds to start with.
