Don't rush in if you haven't educated yourself because you will just dig a deep hole if you buy something you shouldn't have. 

My question is this:  In addition to just the typical home inspection & pest inspection, would it be wise to have a HVAC specialist, plumber, electrician, and roofer come out to dig a little bit more thoroughly into this property?  

You may have to dig a bit and network like crazy but St.

Best I can tell from previous posts on the site is that if you are having a problem with your DTI ration transfer properties to an "entity"(this is the usual word choice with little insight into what kind of entity the poster is referring to) However, when you dig a little deeper, it seems to be that even if you own property in an LLC if you sign a personal guarantee (which they pretty much always make you do* it all falls to you in individual, and therefore counts against your personal DTI ratio, which at least for this, seems to defeat the purpose.* it seems if you have an LLC with 2 years of tax returns, you can actually have the business get the mortgage, and not have to sign a personal guarantee.

@Brad Smith, any clue the depth of the grade beams... that'll give you an indication of how much deeper you'll have to dig (and just in case... make sure your trench isn't inline with a pier).And, if in the future you don't want to dig a trench again, consider renting a mole from the local rental yard.  

While I can understand your initial conclusions regarding ¨The only doubt I have is that some numbers that can be applied to the US market are not the same in Europe¨.. if you dig a little deeper, you would likely find that the same or similar metrics can be applied - that is, ratio of rent to purchase price, etc.

You gotta dig a lot more to really see if it is a good investment.If you buy well located CA property in a downturn you will do very well. 

You would not need o trench the entire line but rather just have to dig a hole on your property and hopefully on the terrace where the neighbor doesn't have a say.

As you dig a little deeper into the actual release by the provincial government the regulation only applies to licensed agents and appears to be "self-policing" by the industry itself ... so it may amount to a little more discretion, but not elimination of the behaviour.

@Peter Lohmann, lets dig a little deeper.
