Thank you, Akshay, and Just to clarify your saying buy hold, learn the process, and get a pay day later.?

My partner and I have made off with a pretty good payday after selling our ON primary residence, we are looking to deploy the cash into Eastern Canada where homes are cheaper.

Maybe he sees some big pay day down the road, or maybe since they are saving about $2k a month on not having to pay a mortgage or rent, they use that.

Once I get capital flowing, my mindset may change as I see it as a great way to get larger paydays, and I know how to do a lot of work myself, and even if finance/insurance structure doesn't allow that, I know enough to not get soaked by contractors.

You do not represent a huge payday for those guys.

Or Do i just have to suck it up for the time being, float the loan and in 5 years get a big pay day? 

Overall found that with me being the do-it-all investor and contractor my "days to complete" is my biggest holdback, with this realized I found that I do best on homes that I do not complete super extesive house "rebuilds" even though these have been my biggest paydays.     

If you’re in the position where someone can get a mortgage on it, then I would try to list it on mls now before it’s finished and ask for someone to help me finish it while it’s under contract because payday would seem close at hand.

(2) Business: How is any business excluding Pawn Shops, Payday loans, and strip clubs investing in these communities?

Just take money home via draws or paydays.
