I’m considering two options to present my plans: 1.

You may be better served with a market where you would have more purchase options and more margin (equates to less risk).I like San Diego RE.

Another option is to put 2-3 inches of spray foam insulation then batt under that, it will assist with stopping some of the air transfer and seal it off as well.I would also check the windows in those rooms and whcih way do they face.

If you want to find out how much equity you have to see if that’s an option for you, connect with a real estate agent and ask for a professional equity assessment report (PEAR).Who knows, you may find out you have enough equity to buy your next place outright– and with today’s mortgage rates, not having to take out a home loan is pretty incredible.

You are limited in your options if something worse should come along later, such as a large investment going bad.If $10,000 CDN is a show stopper for you, how do you expect to manage a $600,000 CDN property? 

I know of a lender that offers a 0% down, owner-occupant conventional loan that is a fantastic option for househacking.

I have the option of turning it into an S corporation.

There are just numerous variables and calculations you must analyze to check. 

What are my options?

I borrowed $110K from a private lender for the purchase and self funded the repair of the offices. 3 months later, I rented 6,000 sq.ft. of office space to a corporation for $21,000/month + utilities for 5 years with another 5 year option.
