Cleaner is paid a fixed rate for a specific job, you are paid a % of revenue.

Minus re-zoning expenses- Any advise for this transition into low income/transitional housing?

Feel free to reach out if you need any guidance or have questions about property management specifics!

I think in very specific markets this is doable.. 

I would think your insurance agent might have access to some historical information for a specific area as they would want to examine this closely for their underwriting.

This means you'll want to "write off" expenses related to a property you have in service because if those expenses don't benefit you this year they could in the future once you sell the property.We can get into a lot more details with the "if" "and" or "buts" BUT I think this would be the "simplest" answer without diving into your specific situation here.I hope this helps! 

Maybe it can help you in your specific situation, it depends.

But the likelihood of success with that depends on the specific street.

Are there any tools, websites, or resources you’d recommend specifically for real estate investors in Ontario?

I would advise you to save up and purchase a house.I'd look for a lower end inexpensive house you can afford and make it a LTR.
