I am on commission only compensation, so I moved back in with my parents, and am trading all of my time (60-70 hour work weeks) for little/no money. 

I know that is a long pay back period but don't plan on selling anytime soon, plus you never know what nat gas prices will do. 

He thought you were looking to be a borrower with your plans investments, not be a lender with your RRSP.I would seek out providers of self-directed RRSP plans in Canada. 

For example, if your driveway only fits two cars, you need to know if tenants plan to bring several vehicles, as this could lead to parking violations and HOA fines.Don’t forget to screen pets, too!

Personally I like to do things the "right way" and if you plan is to grow you may be better off hiring it out. 

If you are going to be an owner-occupant, want a low down payment, and are planning to do a renovation, the FHA 203k and Fannie May Homestyle loans are your best optionsHow do you know the property is currently upside down on the mortgage? 

Long-term planning allows for steady growth, compounding returns, and the flexibility to adapt to economic and societal changes.

Make sure they know you plan to publicly point out to the local newspapers, Mayor's Office, and anyone who will be campaigning against them, just how stupid and lazy they are. 

l plan to use that money to start investing in real estate.

We have a decent plan working now, its just a matter of financing and scaling.
