It could be a difficult transition as you mentioned. 

A hypothetical to see how people factor costs when rolling equity forward into additional purchases.For this example assume  you purchased property “A” for 100k, and put 25% down. 2 years later you sell it for 125k so you now have 50k (25k from your initial down payment + 25k in equity).

But then you mention fins so that suggests a regular window.

Krohn often sites an experience where he came home one night and his wife mentioned to him that they didn't have enough money for groceries for her and their new child.

Just like has been mentioned before, deals are everywhere.

A lot of people mention this on BP but I think this philosophy resonates most with me.

Someone already mentioned Saskatchewan, there are places in Alberta (Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat) which are a decent size. 

@Bob Willis I have done both and would highly recommend passive syndication investing over lending for the reasons mentioned by @Taylor L.

It's easier to try and talk, but as mentioned, they sometimes give up over time.

If you don’t have a trusted lender contact, I’d suggest 1) Start having conversations with agents & vetting them, 2) Mention in your first conversation with the agents that you’re ready to get pre-approved and ask if they have any lender recommendations.
