Do you have any CPA recommendations for me?

I don't know how you would present any of that to potential clients from thousands of miles away.No, Brokers are not all the same.

Considering that my parents and I are not Canadian citizens it adds an additional wrinkle to things as they or I are not able to claim this as the primary residence and avoid the capitol gains tax... a lot to consider and think about.

Is there debt on the property or are you doing all cash?

Does anyone have any advice?

I don't know any builders here, so I am wondering a few things: - Does anyone have a builder that would be interested in doing a single infill project (there is another infill lot going up on the street, might try and connect with them) - I am in between paying for it myself with cash during construction (maybe the home will cost 150-200k to build?)

How do you know that a contractor is any good? 

I know there are lots of other perspectives, but I can share with you mine.

Then the agent and seller are liable for any damages you have. 

That they are investigating.
