I would be willing to take an offer on the property in its current state so you could configure the construction any way you wish.

See properties sitting on the market for a long time, every market is different, my market anything over 30 days is a long time.

I have all 5 star reviews and am extremely detail oriented with my properties  To be frank I've been grinding for a long time, but not building wealth and legacy for my family.

There are also sites where you can grab free lists of off-market properties to get started with prospecting.I also saw you attended some classes and webinars and I hope they were free or the fee was nominal.

I wholesale some properties, and others make sense to take down as rentals.

In your opinion what do you think is the best property to start with?

The vast majority of your wealth gain in real estate will be by holding properties long term and the appreciation/principal paydown will slowly but surely help you become wealthy.For 90% plus of people out there who are looking to start, house hacking is the best way to go.

I wonder with Canadian economy struggling if there is potential to purchase distressed properties that could be converted into long-term rentals or successful AirBnbs (especially in the cabin markets that have been hit hard).

I might buy 1 property that has cash flow, another that has a great purchase price, another that has great appreciation prospects and yet another with great financing terms. 

Just because other people might be getting away with it for now doesn't mean they couldn't crack down on you after you buy a property their.
