FidelFidel,When I saw your question I got interested as most Canadian investors are rather running away (or pausing) from investing in RE in Canada.But to help in your journey, here's what I can share mostly from either my personal experience or discussion with relevant professionals. 

Low LTV, 30yr fixed @4.5% personal (1)• Investment condo - new const. high end purchased w/1031 (from 20yr quad) in 2019.

The owner was motivated due to personal circumstances and wanted to avoid the hassle of listing the property publicly.

First of all, my personal credit was a very good at 735 midscore. 100% financed tidied it up just a little bit more with  just cleaning up a couple of things on my credit.

And I don't think they're taking applications yet, but you'll likely have to apply in person.

Are you building for pure investment purposes or are you looking to use some of the space for personal/personal business use?

Caution:  Personal credit card financing is a huge risk and good luck finding 0 percent interest today.

The owner was motivated due to personal circumstances and wanted to avoid the hassle of listing the property publicly.To negotiate the deal, I started by understanding the seller’s priorities.

The property is insured on your behalf, personally. 

But you don't find the same person you did back when.
