I met with one this past week, and he pretty much shut down my business idea immediately, quoting sections from the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act of 2002 which provides a *very* broad definition for the word 'trading', and goes on to say that nobody may trade real estate in the province of Ontario who is not registered as a broker or salesperson working for a brokerage, or who is otherwiese 'registered' as defined in the Act.Here's a link, see section 4 subsection 1:http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_02r30_e.htm#BK6Now I will fully admit that the attorney I met with didn't seem to have much experience dealing with real estate investors - perhaps I should have screened him more carefully.

For example:- Bad English/grammar throughout their website ("Real Estate Loan Programme"):- Unrealistic terms (no legit private/hard money lender would offer these terms):- "Standard Terms & Conditions" document provided on their website that sounds just good enough to perhaps convince the unknowing that maybe they're legit, but for someone that knows better this document is easily recognized as a complete joke.
