For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

Attend in person networking events in your area (there are many in and around Vancouver). 

I heard that if you move the personal mortgages to an LLC they could get called and we would want to avoid that3.

They should know this is coming as it usually takes 1-2 years for the banks to auction the house.  

@Denis Orlov I don't do STR, but I've rented one of my personal properties for arbitrage before. 

Hard to say one way or another without knowing your personal finances, goals etc., but it seems like a good deal. 

Also, would this loan help build my personal credit, or would it only report to business credit bureaus under my LLC?

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

You can put a mortgage into a "trust: without triggering a due on sale but again contacting your bank/lender is the best route to avoid any issues.Some banks/lenders or servicing companies change guidelines and even a trust may require other paperwork but the attorney usually facilitates that to be safe.  

I personally interact with each and every guest.
