I know that many of us, including me, started out overleveraged in our early RE careers, but it must quickly be reversed to have long term stability or even long term REI careers.

There are other reasons it may or may not be for other investors, but for me at this stage in my investing career, that's the primary metric that matters to me. 

My Wife and I moved to Ottawa to allow her to start her career with the Canadian Government and we have been here for almost 4 years.

I'm sure some people with some real experience will chime in on this but as another newbie just diving into my REI career this seems to be pretty standard.

This is a perfect example of that - almost any option you choose can be a great stepping stone for your investing career.

(Not interested in being a real estate agent for full-time career)I know this is a lot.

Their agent told me he had never seen this happen before in his entire career.

They agreed to try to find something to buy but my father doesnt have an amazing credit score like me or my brother, plus he is unemployed so he wont get a mortgage.I told my brother that he has to be the one getting the mortgage because I have plan of starting my real estate investing career in January (buying a duplex) so I cant have a mortagage like that on my name because my debt to income ratio will be high.

Get out of here, you don't want to live here" (I removed all the NSFW words from his comment).After that experience I decided that this street is not suitable for my investment goals.
