I would think that for a buy n hold RE investor 1 year is too short to gain significant insight. 

Meanwhile you can use the remainder of your cash to finance multiple other deals.For a Hard Money loan you will only pay about $750 per month for each $100,000, so if you are not n the project for too long and the forced appreciation is decent, the extra carrying costs shouldn't be to bad compared to the overall deal.

I would not take on a unit for little compensation as buy n hold rentals are not 100% passive

Senthil N. - I love premium TurboTax (for rentals).

There are other markets that are either more landlord friendly or offer better cash flow than Ontario (Alberta, Eastern Provinces - as @Roy N. pointed out).

We originally had plans to rent it out after the remodel and move out into a apartment until we are able to finance a second property. but now I'm wondering if we should sell after the remodel and take half of the proceeds and re invest in either a fix n flip, or buy a duplex to house hack, or buy a single family to rent.
