if you go to a meetup and talk with a friendly PM in a networking setting, they will probably be willing to share information.

If they can build a larger home and sell it for the same or more rather then building a couple small homes why do it?

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.

Leave the owners alone, when and if they are ready to sell, they will, and there will be plenty of lots to choose from on the MLS.I have no statistics to back this up, but in my casual observation after our fire is about 1/3 of the owners rebuilt their homes (some built similar, some duplicated exactly--big mistake, and some built better/nicer/larger homes).

Hey @Mike Williams, we actually have a lender in our network that can get this done.

Try Bungalow, Cohere Network, Dreamhouse, Padsplit, Roomster, SpareRoom, Tripalink, etc.

Expanding your portfolio, streamlining tenant management, diversifying income streams, building a network, and planning for growth are also recommended.

@Matthew Posteraro I wouldn't necessarily say that it is a way to make them more hands-off by scaling up to larger properties.
