For instance, Id prefer to put 30% down when I can to hedge against a down RE market and be no more than 70% leveraged.

For instance, if you think a 40k 2 bdr condo is a good property, I am open to hearing the reasons why.Thanks in advance and Go Birds!

Hi Mark P,I posted an article here a month ago from the Canadian Real Estate Magazine titled, Investment strategy for Canada's Wealthy.  

Every year, we would go to the beach I would go through my usual routine of getting the real estate magazines from the corner machine and sort through them looking for something that I thought I might be able to buy.

There are very few instances that would allow this to happen, almost none actually.

For instance, @Saul L. , I understand from this and the list of tax treaty that israel tax residents will get taxed 25% on dividends.

As we all know inspectors can be your worst enemy, they don't have to be your friend but you want to stay off their immediate radar..Code upgrades are usually only required if you pull permits.. to do upgrades,, but if for instance they do a yearly inspection and find you need GFI outlets in bath and kitchen you'll need to comply and get it taken care of.. along with what else they pick out that needs replacing or repair, once the door is opened up they have the right to write fix it orders until it's in good enough shape to comply with living standards.1. parking for your tenants.. forcing to register cars..

For instance, at 1 maybe we flip houses, at 2 we invest in multifamily for cashflow, and at 3 we start looking at tax strategies as ways to structure our wealth to preserve it for the long haul.

For instance disabled, or over 65 or homestead exemptions can significantly lower the property taxes until you buy the house as an investor and everything is reassessed.

I'm guessing some people us the entire ground floor for parking in such instances depending on the scale of their project).If you don't mind me asking - have you (Anyone else reading this thread too) or do you plan on doing this sort of expansion with any of your own properties?
