He thought you were looking to be a borrower with your plans investments, not be a lender with your RRSP.I would seek out providers of self-directed RRSP plans in Canada. 

These are all things I am trying to plan for. 

Some investors also use a business line of credit backed by their cash flow, which can help with future deals.If you’re planning to scale, maybe start stacking that cash for the next property or even park some in T-bills for short-term returns.

Prioritize your financial stability.

@Christopher HeidrichRecommend 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?

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

Quote from @Tom Server: I beg to differ @Nathan Gesner, about the financially disciplined.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Prepare financially by saving for down payments, improving your credit score, and setting aside emergency reserves.

Expanding your portfolio, streamlining tenant management, diversifying income streams, building a network, and planning for growth are also recommended.
