Realtor – Someone that understands what an investor is looking for, knows the investing landscape, areas to invest, and is willing/able to show lots of houses before the right purchase is made.3.

Also if you are selling, hopefully your agent has advised you but good practice to have a vacant unit to open the buyer pool to owner-occupied buyers/house hackers.

In my area a house call for locksmith is going to cost $75-100 just to walk in the door, so $135 all in is not that big a deal.Not a hill I want to die on....... use it as a learning moment for the tenant- ALL repairs need to be approved by you BEFORE they are done.

@Ryan Daulton,You don't have to buy a house in SDIRA without a loan; you can easily get a loan, but it must be non-recourse.

I do a heloc on the house and I am the only borrower on the heloc.

Quote from @MIchael McCUe: Money isn't easy to save and $10,000( my debts) is a ton of money I want to save for a downpayment, I'm just starting so I don't have any money I would like to save $60,000 to buy a rental property, I think I could do it in  5-6 years, my brother filed bankruptcy and they relieved him of $6000 in debt from cash money.a list of my debtGst Hst Tax 4500 income tax from working with my dad I oweScotiabank credit card 1400Canadian Tire credit card 500cash money loan 2400Belair 600echelon 600should I pay the 10k back in the next while or should I file bankruptcy like my brother as It won't be for years until I am able to get a downpayment for a rental house anyway.Here are the negative consequences, in regard to real estate, of filing bankruptcy1.

Some neighbors also told me that there seems to be more people living in the house (on the lease its supposed to be the lady and her two kids 4 YO and 8 or 9 YO).

On a positive note we did build a new house to the specifications of a specific tenant.
