.: Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: Buffalo is a good market to invest long term if you get a good property, on a good street, in good condition.  

The buyers did a long inspection, multiple days... made a huge request for concessions based on what we knew to be purely made-up issues.

As long as you express the key details of tenant information, lease dates, along with any standard information to vacate, and clear language of "non-renewal".

As long as the lender can finance in the state that you want to buy in, then work with them.

[I think someone else provided an example of this case earlier]-Now provided you do qualify for purchasing a house (4 units or less), you will have no problem qualifying for a mortgage with a Schedule 1 bank as long as you provide the down payment (35% minimum of purchase price) and confirm proof of fund and the source of it- On the proof and source of funds, the banks would want to see an income enough to cover the mortgage payment and other expenses. and in some cases, they would want to make sure they know how you're going to cover your expenses (housing, heating, etc..) where you live.This is usually where it gets annoying for some folks but if you can satisfy this, you should be able to qualify for a mortgage just likely any Canadian tax resident, albeit you will pay a little more in terms of interest rate, etc.

I have 20+ VA'S, however, it took a long time.  

We have couple turnkeys, and couple of BRRRs that we did so far (all are single family residential properties with long-term tenants).We are interested in exploring commercial real estate, and wanted to get all of your help in getting started. 

Long-term fundamentals?

Any local bank that does this kind of financing should be able to approve you as long as you have a good enough credit score and never declared BK.

Usually when they don't cooperate it means they are hiding something, so it might have been a good thing, in the long run.Talk soon,Maria
