It's a sad state but most of the adult population does not do it.   

In 2022, half of American renters spent over 30% of their income on rent and utilities, the highest percentage ever recorded. 

They highlight the difference between the average home cost and the average home value suggested by the price of large institutional companies such as American Homes 4 Rent and Invitation Homes Inc.I suspect this is nonsense (especially as according to google their price to book ratio is positive). 

Hi @Esther IrokoPlease kindly ignore all the specific advice from Americans as the landlord-tenant laws are so different in Canada.

American Family recently discontinued their multi-family coverage, leaving many property owners scrambling to find new providers.

We have adult kids.

It is NOT "American" to exploit people as quazi-slaves 4-profit, that's vile. 

if they are pressuring you like this.PLEASE watch the American Greed Episode on Remmington Financial  .not saying these guys wont or don't fund of course.. but when I do my deals with my banks its common that I pay for the phase one and the appraiser directly..  

From an american perspective1.

You could be "The" STR "guy" for American tourists.
