The Finance Minister announced steps to curb the influx of foreign capital into the Canadian Real Estate Market  (in which he really meant TO and Vancouver ... down east we are not really suffering from the influx of foreign money ... sure we lost a 50-unit deal a couple of years ago to a Chinese investor, but the property was not worth what s/he paid, so we'll see it back on the market eventually).That said, Ottawa is only removing a loophole which has allowed foreigners to purchase a residence in Canada, claim it as their principal residence and then benefit from the personal residence {captial gains} tax exemption when they sell.  

Budget reserves for this eventuality and you should be OK.

Tax - 2.6k (6%)Landlord Gas Water Heating - 1.3k (2.9%)Landlord Gas+Oil Heating - 2.8k (6.5%)Landlord Other Utilities - 5.5k (12.6%)Insurance - 1.1k (2.6%)NOI - 11.8kLending costs - 8.6kAs is, cash on cash would be 5.5%Is (eventually) getting 10% cash-on-cash realistic here?  

I am looking for a job managing properties, maybe as a lease agent for an apartment complex  (second question, do you think that would be helpful for managing my own properties eventually?)

I'm now an agent with Keller Williams (Brier Creek), but I will eventually open my own firm or partner with someone who wants to do the same or who already has.

I was thinking doing a promissory note which could work for now but eventually I would like to have more 'Funding partners' Also I'm thinking proposing they put 100% of the cash, I put knowledge and skills and my time I would not charge anything to list and market the property and we go 50/50 on the NET profit.

My tenant was late every month and eventually would pay..but eventually, she didn't pay at all.

I would like to eventually get into multi-family/duplex properties. 

I eventually ran into some of the landscapers that periodically come and maintain the lawn.

There are a lot of good resources available and proving to your potential partner a serious focus and how you are preparing besides an eventual practical experience will show that even though you may lack the credible experience, you have all the "right stuff" to get there quickly and be a good partner for him too.
