My goal is reviewing retirement options. 

The agent turned down a seller financing option - although it was not ran by the seller - because the agent said the seller is so done with the property that she wants nothing to do with it at all.

If you don't meet that 12 month seasoning requirement and/or want to hold the property under an LLC, a debt service loan may be a better option.

An option to better understand and see the model without having to spend all the time is turnkey interesting.

But there’s another option that’s often overlooked: mortgage recasting.

Meet with financial advisers/wealth managers and see what other options other than real estate there are and how to best allocate / diversify. ie have you maxed out your TFSA?

Here's a list of some other options https://www.meetup.com/find/?

I did a lot of research on options.

Another option could be a home equity line of credit (HELOC) if you have enough equity in your primary or second home.

Your options are limited. 1.
