I own a farm as a primary residence in norwood, ontario that my wife and I are hoping will be our forever home.

@Dan Strandberg I'm not 100% sure how it works in SK, but in Ontario when a property is located on Septic, it's often required by the lender to get a water sample for testing.

Does anybody have any experience or knowledge buying tax sale properties in Ontario?  

where in ontario are you?

Do you invest in other areas of Ontario/Canada or mostly in the US? 

My name is Nate from London Ontario, I am in the process of purchasing my first property.

In Ontario, Canada, we must adhere to REBBA (the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act), which does not allow some entrepreneurs to be quite as creative in their negotiations, financing, etc.From what you have described of your situation and your goals, it seems best for you to learn what you can from the course and materials, but to not actually become licensed.Another option is to take the exam(s), but not apply for your license.

I frequently recommend your, and your father's, {text} book to those interested in commercial real estate in Canada (particularly those in Ontario).I look forward to your participation here.
