I also am very interested in purchasing more STRs, and this is a really low risk way to see if I'm up for it (we have a 2.9% interest rate on our mortgage).My biggest concern is an ongoing plumbing issue we have had.

As we’re beginning to get a grasp on the scale of the challenges ahead we wanted to highlight a few areas of note and concern that is already influencing the local and national real estate market.

If not, cut bait and offload risk.

For myself, I negotiate things down pretty far or else I cut or don’t take my commission and help my customer out.

I have a question and would really appreciate your input.I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using hard money lenders, but I’ve noticed that their fees and interest rates significantly cut into my profits.

I would like to go to a more simple software like Rentastic, but here are my concerns.- Loss of historical data (for both IRS audits and for personal portfolio tracking.)- Unfamiliarity of software with my Bookkeeping and Accounting team.

.- The holder of a work permit does effectively become a tax resident as far as the CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency) is concerned at which point they will qualify for certain things such as purchase a house without being considered as the foreign buyer; hence, foreign ban hammer not weighing on them.

And you're totally right, housing issues cut across political and other lines.

The real estate market has evolved a lot in the last few years, with more real estate investors making it more competitive and interest rates cutting severely into margins and also slowing down buyer demand (when trying to get out of a property). 

In this way, I never need to be concerned about justifying my charge to their deposit because the damage is clear and obvious.
