I’m trying to get a feel for how much more income it would generate compared to LTR or MTR.4.

Those things won't matter if your business crushes it. i feel like it would matter when those things add up and start tearing at ur profit If banking fees cut into your profit, your profit isn't big enough.

I know Alberta is hot at the moment but it worries me as I feel as though i would be going with the flow.

I could put a down payment for a conventional (20-25%) 550k duplex, but I feel it could hurt my chances of buying as many duplexes in a 5 year period (for example) if I go conventional VS an FHA at 3.5%. 

Feel free to ask anything, anytime.Cheers!

From your demeanor, I feel like you are quarreling with me.

Feel free to message me, I would be glad to give you my opinions on where I think a good market would be based on your financial situation.  

I’ve never asked anyone to “be my mentor”, but I feel like I have several now, because I just showed up, created friends, and asked questions. 

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
