You might find the answers to your questions there but I know that the search function is less then optimal so feel free to send me a DM if you don't easily find what you're looking for.I've never bothered commenting much about Canada because, until recently, it made no sense for US investors to invest in Canada: much less favorable mortgage conditions if they could even get one, much more expensive prices on average and much less profitable on average.

Hi Kristin in Chicago, Illinois-I am sorry one of your rentals has been vacant for a couple of months going on three months and you are concerned your property manager is not representing the property well and their criteria for screening tenants may be too stringent for the area.This can be an expensive learning curve as you have holding costs and may even have to pay one month's rent to the property manager to get it leased.I had nearly the same thing happen to me.

While I don’t plan on flipping the house, I intend to use the property for short-term rentals (STR), and based on my research, it seems like it will perform well either as an STR or a long-term rental (LTR).Any ideas on how I can source the financing or recommendations for better lenders would be greatly appreciated!
