I believe they changed the guidelines years ago on the amount of seller assist you can receive on an FHA loan, so I’d look into that with your mortgage company before making an offer, but definitely use that to your advantage when writing an offer!

This is definitely a metric you should be using (among others).

If it's a simple living room to bedroom conversion, it likely won't be that difficult to return to "normal" if that's ever needed but definitely a great thing to keep in mind.

@Mary Lopez It definitely depends on your scenario and the details.

But all in all, its definitely a more difficult time for foreign buyers in Canada.

Anything from REIT mutual funds to direct ownership (which depending on your definition is "passive" to many, including the IRS), to direct asset syndications and funds.  

It’s definitely possible to refinance multiple properties under a single loan, often called a portfolio loan, but it depends on the lender.

@Caroline Gerardo  @Thomas LebensCaroline - From the info you are providing, it just sounds like I just have a broader list of DSCR wholesalers at my disposal that offer better terms than those you are using.Thomas - The bottom line is that you can definitely use a DSCR loan to meet your needs and achieve your investing goals.Have a GREAT weekend!!

Definitely agree with Kevin, a lot of insight in this one post, especially on staying practical and working fast to put a deal together. 

Definitely will be moving my other rentals over to him.
