@Avery Pemberton-SmithDon't waste your time and money drafting an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a residential property, just use the standard APS from the provincial real estate board.This standard contract will include clauses for inspection and financing ... you may want to add one for leases and estoppels.We all had to start someplace and many - perhaps most - of us look back and would have done our first deals differently given what we currently know ... however, had we not done that first deal, we would not know what we do today.I'm not trying to discourage you ... just encouraging you to proceed with your critical eyes wide open.

It depends entirely on State or Provincial landlord tenant codes.

Around 90% of short term rental units in Quebec are illegal in the sense that they have not obtained municipal or provincial permission to offer short term rental service as a business.

I would forever be that frog at the bottom of the well if it weren't for all the people I've met here who constantly challenge me to step outside my provincial mindset. 

@Harrison Montgomery you’ll need to decide if your name will be registered both provincially and federally or just provincially.

Klagenfurt is a small town with a bit of an inferiority complex and the people can be somewhat provincial, but it's just big enough for my taste (a bit of nightlife, enough a cultural events, art, live music, good food, etc).

The general mindset is rather provincial - small frame of reference, behind the trends, and traditional.  

@Andrew McBurney Wholesaling doesn't easily work north of the border due to Canadian (federal and provincial) laws.

For population growth, I've been looking at the projections that provincial government does.
