@Ben Trageser those are excellent points, thank you for the perspective!

SubTo (Subject-To) can be an excellent strategy when done right. 

You provide an excel sheet with basic information about the companies and they return all the contact info you could want for about $0.15 per lead.I have not been able to find an equivalent for Canada.

Excellent...but you have to know where to invest.

Hey Joanne, you’re definitely onto something with room rentals.. it can be an excellent strategy for offsetting a hefty mortgage and, in some cases, bringing in higher total rent than a single lease.

Like @Pat Aboukhaled already mentioned, he’s extremely responsive and has excellent market knowledge.

Then plan and design how you're going to deploy that cash via what strategy your wife and you have confidence in.I use a excel or google doc and my first sheet would layout all of the details of the sale including all costs that go into getting closed.

New occupants will be coming soon, but in a 3 family, i have set of excellent student tenants that renewed.That said, many landlord insurance policies have exclusions for students, so I am trying to gather info on updating a policy to consider the fact that the building is only going to be 33% student occupied.  

If so, invest.Then, ask yourself does this property provide the characteristics you need for it to give you your return-- location, rental demand, buying demand, physical structure, etc.
