Thanks for all the info Greg,I have spent a good deal of time poring over the RTA, and yes, Ontario is notoriously pro-tenant!

If the OPs market is similar to my own when it comes to parking bans and snowfall, he may very well expect a healthy jump in monthly rent. 

Don’t believe anyone who is 100% convinced; best to have a healthy dose of skepticism.

In this forum the question to invest for cash flow or appreciation or a combination thereof is discussed regularly with a healthy dose of exchanges of opinions and personal experiences.

It seems that new trend is with all this healthy food vending machines.

You will not be able to build any kind of re pore with a contractor if you can't speak to them one on one, how else will you get to know them and vise versa

Okay, enough discouragement, and it wasn't meant to discourage you, but rather give you a healthy dose of reality.I want success for you.If you are looking for a mentor, look locally.

From the pool of inquiries, there would have been much more applicants except I let people know that there were already too many applicants AND that they MUST meet my criteria of over 700 Credit Score, 45 times monthly rent AND have a healthy savings account to weather the lockdown.I chose the best applicant who made $200k per year and had $200k in savings as well as over 700 FICO.Apts like mine in buildings like mine are incredibly desireable now.Basically, there's a huge problem with skyrises and Pandemics.People are afraid that if they get into an elevator that they could be trapped in a small space with someone that has the virus, which will then transmit it to them.Also, the management for the skyrise buildings are not permitting IN PERSON showings AND many are not allowing moving in or out of the building because of the risk of increasing the transmission to vulnerable tenants within their buildings.That narrows down the amount of available apts.Buildings like mine, non-Elevator walk up buildings which are low density and separate Garden Apts, are now the most desireable buildings to own in a Pandemic in NYC, as I am seeing anedotally.However, this is only true if you are in the right kind of City, where most of the buildings will be very large skyrise elevator buildings where there are huge amount of renters.Adding to the attractiveness of low density buildings is the fact that NYC is the EPICENTER of the COVID-19 pandemic.Yes, this is one single datapoint.

Stay safe and healthy.
