Given your appetite for high-risk, high-reward ventures, active strategies like flipping or BRRRR might be worth exploring.

If you get positive results, share them on BP   People are always looking for LOC sources   They come and go as banks need them/have the appetite for them. 

You should also be able to secure a rate below 3.0% if you are willing to go with a 5-yr term variable rate product.Now, if you mortgage broker is finding you products from tier II lenders, then you will get a larger mortgage (though technically you still need to qualify at the BoC 5yr posted rate w/ a 25yr amortization) as they have more appetite for risk ... you will also pay for that appetite 4.5 - 7%If you can produce signed leases and tenant estoppels for the property you are purchasing, most of the banks will count 50% of the rental revenue in addition to your earned income {some use to count up to 70%, but most have pulled back} for qualification.Finally, #2-#4 are essentially rinse & repeat: you will have to qualify for each subsequent property considering the debt of prior mortgages, but you will also get to use 50% of existing rental income.When you arrive at mortgage #5 things change.

Hi @Francisco Disla, where to buy really depends on a lot of factors: your budget; investment objectives (cash flow and appreciation); risk appetite; distance; and more. 

I'd also like to echo the sentiment of others in saying that it would be better if you just invest in a REIT or CD (chosen based on your appetite for risk) until you're back...BUT, and this is a big BUT, I feel that instead of investing money over the next 3 months, you should invest your time into learning about REI & read books that will help give you a great confidence boost and "success mentality".

Then suppress when you buy new lists to make sure you aren't paying twice for the same lead.
