I recently found this local forum for Canadians and am happy to see a healthy level of activity.

My current side-side hustle, Global Artisans, employs local refugees to make bags out of recycled vinyl banners.The BP podcast has already been a trove of knowledge and motivation, but I'm glad to finally raise my hand in here and pay forward the advice and support the BP veterans so willingly give.

I was wondering what other Canadians have used to finance buying an entire apartment building, and if we can leverage our appreciated equity without selling our rentals.

I receive offers of various turnkey properties in the U.S. from Mike at Global (he seems to be based in the U.K.).

@Jordan Gillespie Exercise caution when getting advice on Canadian RE on BP because most of it will be American-specific as this is an American site. 

@Ralph NoackOntario is huge.. you can drive 20 hours and still be in Ontario.. you need to narrow down to Region..And btw you can go to CBRE and find Canadian Cap Rates in major cities.. they release new info every quarter..Your welcome

I've fixed pretty much everything unless it was over my skill set (replacing capacitor on A/C system, for instance; landlord told me when I moved in it was okay to repaint or whatever as long as it improved the house), my neighbors love me - they've told him so; I've resodded the yard twice (FL grass sucks with a dog), had the landscape crew redo the trees in front so they look good, replanted flower beds (perennials), power washed the house every year after wet season ended, ensured the pest control worked...The BUT part ...As a sole practioning consultant (pre-IPO weakness remediation, large financial systems implementations, global audit recommendations for SEC registrants, etc.) at times during the last 3 years things have been sink or sink lower credit wise and the ID theft didn't help (apparently, I bought a car in GA and own some property in TX).

For instance, https://resolute.fund/ is a collection of distressed real estate that can be purchased globally.

My question is this one:You guys would pay 16K US$ + Canadian exchange = 21 000$ for a program like they're?
