If you are unable or unwilling to do so we may elect to terminate the lease and request a return of our deposit--which we offered in a good faith agreement that we would be presented with a habitable dwelling--and our prorated rent.

A mix of short- and long-term strategies could hedge against market shifts.Borrowing allows you to scale faster, especially if you can secure favorable terms.

If somebody could get a deal every time they sent out 1300 letters then they would be sitting in a pretty good position. 

Long term, short-term, etc?

Where would you find a good mentor to fund the emd and down.

Hello Sheree, A good place to learn about wholesaling will be going to the local REIA.

You should also note that you can only use it personally for 14 days per year (which is the same as the US but since many also look for it to be a vacation property, good to note).

And yes, a good CPA will know state taxation laws, or the ability to research said laws.

However, some investors don't mind this strategy if they prefer not to put a lot of liquid in up front and plan to refi out within a few years of closing (which seems to be a great option with the talks of the FED reducing interest rates this year).It really comes down to investing in a growing market, in a good neighborhood & building a great team to support you.

Good luck on your journey!!!
