Having a hot tub itself is what I would be looking for, even in luxury rentals I've booked for myself in the past :) My $0.02 is to opt for the larger, more cost-effective, option - which may not be the wood heated one. 

On the other hand, if you are netting significant profits (e.g. 100K+ per year, but I really don't know where the cut off point is) in the US, the overhead may be worth cost / aggravation.I am curious what structures Canadians are using and at the end of the day, what is the effective marginal rate they see.

My concern is that my DTI may be negatively effected if I refi my primary 1st.

So they will cash flow - but that's because they effectively put 100% down.We have two more turnkeys listed on the MLS right now for under 250k in good areas. 

From a logistics and hard cost perspective, it is more cost effective to complete the entire renovation process at once.

The concept of "Boommates" would be an effective solution for many facing economic and social challenges.Sharing housing can benefit individuals and society by making better use of existing homes and creating supportive living environments.

Are you all hiring a court runner or lawyer to research the properties in order to make sure Tax lien is the only lien against it?   

With cash out refis, there is no market input on value.The time period since acquisition is also an issue.If I understand the numbers - $30K plus $440K loan plus $80K assignment fee - total “purchase” price is $550,000.I would assume lender is asking how is current value one year later $725,000 when you effectively paid $550,000 a year ago?

Hi all, just as an update, there was finally a city that implemented AB 1033, this is San Jose CA, effective July 2024.  

You can get black exterior in a variety of sizes under $300 a window, and the standard white is even more cost effective.
