With the current downturn in the Canadian housing market, I'm curious if anyone is currently investing in the Toronto or Niagara Falls areas, or any other markets in Ontario that might present good opportunities.

Hi Benjamin,Start by reaching out to relocation companies, insurance housing providers, and major employers in the area who may need temporary housing for executives or displaced employees.

I found an area I felt comfortable living in and I bought a house with an FHA loan.

I bought my first house 2 years ago for 255k 20% down at 6.375% APR.

I can tell you first hand that the demand for student housing is at an all-time high. 

After a set amount of time, you get the choice to complete the transaction (buy the house) at the agreed price or not buy the house and the owner keeps the extra amount of the rent payments. 

I have 6 houses and consider myself a novice. 

If you had to start over today with limited resources, what strategy would you focus on- Would you start with house hacking, BRRRR, wholesaling, or another strategy?

You are missing my point on taxes.Scenario 1:  Your partner buys the house at the same time you put your cash in.
