@Jim Stanley Say No to DIY on SDIRA owned units.  

. - Another exception to note on that foreign buyer ban is the number of units/doors for your investment: I believe the magic number is 5+ as this would be considered as commercial Real Estate- In Ontario, you will also have to look our for the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) which imposes about 25% on the purchase tax.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Most institutional DSCR lenders prefer one lease per property/unit, however, I've seen programs allowing rent by room strategies.

On some older properties where perhaps you have one water meter for 2-3-4 units or one gas meter for 2-3-4 units, or units that share hot water, something like that the owner might pay. 

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee. 

My wife and I on the search for our 5th property and looking to go for a 6-12 unit multi-family.

Fast forward to today and I am financially free with in Painesville, Ohio a 27 unit, 24 unit, 21 unit, 20 unit 15 unit, 12 unit, 8 unit, and 6 unit.  

@Michael HoustonSo cap rates are for commercial properties so they have no use in 1-4 unit values.

Mortgage lenders will qualify you for a higher purchase amount for multis than they would on a single, because they will count the rent you will be making on the other units as additional qualifying income for your loan application.
