I do know one of the people who works for me has a 2 year work permit (temporary) and she and her husband were able to buy a place in Alberta.BC and ON are very tenant friendly.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I still have enough room with my VA entitlement for a buy and hold in a couple of years, so I'd rather save it for later!

Not if you buy 10 at just the right time to hit their sales target.

Buying now means investing in a market that appreciates at a steady, reliable pace.

Did you all buy your lots from them?

I purchased my first buy and hold SF rental property last year and turned the property into a student rental as it was very close to a local College.

Buy that if want, it's probably closer to the 3-5s.  

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Tuppers Plains.

You are still exiting with a refinance and thus the terms wouldn't change on the exit whether you are buying in cash and then refinancing versus doing a construction loan and then refinancing.
