That is one of the main reasons that I’m so skeptical. 

I keep hearing that costs of labor and supplies are rising (when aren't they?)

I'd done some reading in the past and thought a few of the main Canadian banks had such specialty trust divisions that could help you with plan setup.As for finding investments, networking with other investors, real estate agents, etc. is the way to go.Brian, from what I've heard is that CAN banks  make it extremely difficult to setup. 

The country simply does not have enough affordable housing units, and the new supply of affordable housing units is not keeping up with new demand.

If you don't flip, these guys are usually in the appropriate isles at Home Depot with the carts of supplies or just hang around the commercial check out.

I had 2 or 3 called.Now again keep in mind I had zero interest in holding these as rentals and I ONLY bought homes that had significant equity for me.. mainly all pre foreclosures..

The rental market is pretty rough here in the Austin area due to a glut of supply.

DSCR loans don't require all of those things - your FICO and the income from the property are the main determining factors.

What are the main marketing channels you use?

I’m mainly looking to educate myself for the long term.
