I know I can go through a lawyer but I was told it is a fairly simple process hence want to DIY.Regards,Xuming

His lawyer even told our lawyer he had a crappy case.I was a bit annoyed that our insurance company settled for a $70K payout. 

However a lawyer and accountant may be best to consult there much smarter then myself  

This question is most likely best for a lawyer familiar with local regulations and code.

So hiring a prop mgmt company or eviction lawyer for next steps.

Should I get a lawyer???

you know they will lawyer up and be going after everyone. 

Are there any lawyers in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area that are familiar with Master lease agreements?

If the rate is reasonable then it may make sense to try to save fast to get to the 3.5% down payment on a double or triple - househacking may allow you to increase your savings rate and pay down that loan even faster.As for estimating costs, closing in NY factor at least 1% of the mortgage amount for tax, plus $1500-2000 for lawyer, title and fees, then the amount required by the bank for escrow will depend on the actual property taxes and insurance.

I have a title report from my lawyer, but it is somewhat confusing as the land has been subdivided (it started as 9 acres and is now 1.5) and has quite a few transactions - including to the county (I.e allowing the county to build a road).
