Another we work with will take a new deal that was $500k, they may lend full amountore but they would also need to cross collateralize as well on other assets that would have to be atleast 2-3x value of the property.  

I am also counting on a few 55+ seniors selling their homes to escape the city (Austin, Houston, Dallas) for a more affordable community where their retirement savings will go further and where they can connect with other seniors. 

They will likely count your potential rent as part of their analysis and should give you a good idea of how much you could "buy" based on your situation.

Hello good people,I invested in a tax deed last year (in Fulton County, GA) and it has now crossed the one year redemption period without being redeemed. 

Basically if there is no "living room" and there are no comparable properties with similar square footage and bed/bath count in your area the property becomes difficult to comp or sell and lenders will not be able to use it as collateral for a loan Excellent point.

Cross border taxation is very complicated, most developed countries like the US and Canada have sophisticated systems to ensure their residents pay taxes, and you are not likely to be able to achieve your goal of not paying Canadian taxes on Florida income while a Canadian resident. 

Yes, the work hours going towards this property count. 

However, if you have a solid mulit family unit, you can have higher overall rent due to your unit count.

Just make sure you build yourself a good team in your area you can count on!

The appraiser didn’t count them as bedrooms. lol.
