I prefer public comments here before you send a direct message, though. 

Luckily in the sunshine state EVERYTHING is public record.

I got more than enough up front as the non-refundable Option fee to cover all expenses and rents and to get a judgment against the Optionee.

I’ve come across details regarding the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act, and it seems there are exceptions for buyers with a valid work permit or for properties outside Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) or Census Agglomerations (CA).Do you know if certain types of work permits are more favorable for this purpose?

We do want to settle in a little bit here while continuing to do our homework, but hope to get into something in the next 6-12 months.With the way interest rates are looking now and what little I see on public listings, I think a smaller multi-family that needs a little rehab would be the best bet. 

If you want real yield or cashflow, you have to buy in a non-vacation market that is not top of mind for an STR.

We would also like to know some strategies on lease renewals during non peak months.

Heck, you process debit cards if you insist for 1/10th the cost and non-reversible. 

It’s no longer a question of if your coverage will be non-renewed or your costs will spike, but when.

The biggest thing is don't defraud the public, and disclose all.
