[I think someone else provided an example of this case earlier]-Now provided you do qualify for purchasing a house (4 units or less), you will have no problem qualifying for a mortgage with a Schedule 1 bank as long as you provide the down payment (35% minimum of purchase price) and confirm proof of fund and the source of it- On the proof and source of funds, the banks would want to see an income enough to cover the mortgage payment and other expenses. and in some cases, they would want to make sure they know how you're going to cover your expenses (housing, heating, etc..) where you live.This is usually where it gets annoying for some folks but if you can satisfy this, you should be able to qualify for a mortgage just likely any Canadian tax resident, albeit you will pay a little more in terms of interest rate, etc.

Or I'm missing something - followed threads about the conversation from different folk, though.I wanted to get to visit Niagara Falls - Canada side for the week of Christmas to New Year and been looking at the hotels.

I know of some folks in KC and Memphis doing new builds like this, but they are doing it within a much larger and long-term project that includes upwards of 300-500 units built over the course of 5-10 years.Assuming you're looking in Columbia, do you have a "B+/C" neighborhood in mind?

Most home owners are only familiar with California Closets pricing and automatically perceive closet fit outs as being expensive.

The same goes for me and other folks who lean towards "yes." 

Book a flight from Portland to Orlando rent a hotel and car and go to the planning department and building department in person and get to the folks that were running the permit and discuss paths to completion..

I’ve edited this version to comply with the rules and removed any references that could be perceived as self-promotion.

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

Again, treating folks with housing support funds with the same dignity and respect as everyone else, usually nets quality clients that listen and do their best to follow the rules.

That's most likely going to be a C- neighborhood or lower so there could be more perceived scale to BRRRR, but a tougher decision on how to renovate at that price point and possibly harder tenancies.I would get to real estate investor meetups in your area.
