It's all very exciting though and I finally broke away from my job in corporate America.

However, is it possible for you to shift the water bill to the tenant by either 1) incorporating the cost into the rent or 2) having the tenant put the water in their name (this should only be done if the agency allows it and they will shut the service off if it goes unpaid and will not impose a lien on the property. 

When one of my tenants moves out I'll need to replace the carpet and I was thinking of replacing the carpet in the main part of the house/hallways with laminate or hardwood looking ceramic tile.

I incorporated in June 2019 and have grown exponentially.Between these two additional streams of revenue, I've made an income equal to an additional w2 job.We've acquired 12 units, solidified lines of credit, built relationships with lenders and are 100% certain if I leave my w2 it will not hinder our ability to acquire more properties (any more than running out of capital will)My construction business is now taking my full attention away from my 9-5 job. 

Of course that can be offset to some extent by incorporating working capital into your loan request but it isn't likely that a bank will fully cover your shortfalls especially if ramp up is slowly than projected.  

So I'm considering these different electric options:1) cadet wall heaters with built-in fan2) plug-in panels (VonHaus 450W Wall Mounted Electric Flat Panel Heater - Paintable Slimline Low Energy Eco Ceramic Space Heater (23.5 x 23.5 x 0.4 inches) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZ3NE3E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_H0Q1ybQHE3DNG)3) convection heater (http://m.homedepot.com/p/Stiebel-Eltron-1000-Watt-120-Volt-Wall-Mounted-Convection-Heater-CNS-100-1-E/206160725)So I'm wondering if you have experience with any of these models or styles.

To meet growing consumer interest, more Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) are incorporating data entry fields to identify a property's green features; 43 percent of respondents report their MLS has green data fields, and only 19 percent do not.

As I evolved in the biz, I started updating these homes to ceramic tile, vinyl plank flooring, ceiling fans, brush nickel faucets, new counter tops, etc etc and my tenants started staying longer, when they do go vacant, they get rented quickly and I received better applicants.Bottom line, is your plan feasible, yes.

The CRA will extend a credit to you for the income tax paid in the U.S.A. and you will pay the delta between that amount and your marginal tax rate here in Canada.Things are a little different if your U.S.A. property is held within a U.S.A. incorporated entity (other then LLC, which the CRA does not recognize as a general rule) and things are slightly different again if that entity is a child of a Canadian corporation.Best advise I can give is to get a coffee and visit your accountant.

Add backerboard and ceramic tile all over.Would the soft and squishy or the stiff approach work better?
