Keep in mind Cmhc polls the larger players, REITS mainly.

I do not do tax liens but have looked at them in the past and have found that to buy in major areas you have to be a major player to get anything worth value - and typically you have to get very lucky as the funds come in and buy the tax liens for very low returns because their cost of capital is so low. 

Basically it is a state backed market of last resort. 

Many folks are now on the street looking for a place to live and will resort to anything to land something. 

I use "The Best Self Journal" - (bestself.co) and it has drastically changed the way I enter each day and evaluate my production.As a last resort, if you must go back home, devise a plan for yourself to be out within a few weeks or months. 

The recommended entry budget is the starting point for your investment amount where you will begin to find a profitable short-term rental.Panhandle–Beach destination; somewhat seasonal; recommended entry budget: $500K South West–Beach destination/snowbirds; somewhat seasonal; $400KCentral East–Beach and events destination; seasonal; $280KCentral West–Beach destination; mostly seasonal; $400KSouth East–Beach and resort destination; year-round rentals; $500KCentral–Theme park destination(events/resort/family); year round market; $300KFlorida Keys–Beach, boating, fishing, family destination; mostly seasonal; $500K

So if this does pass and the bigger wall street players continue to acquire these properties and complaints come out about inequalities they have no one to blame but themselves.

Websites would be my last resort.

I could go work for the bigger players (CBRE, JLL, Walker Dunlop, NKF, etc.), but my family cannot relocate to a big city.I know the business with regards to structuring the capital stack, how investors/developers look at deals, how lenders look at deals, and I can underwrite CRE investments.

My Primary goal is to live in a home in an area relatively accessible to the mountains, ski resorts, and the city.
