I actually keep a list our bookkeeping firm recommends based on firms/individuals we and our Clients have had good experiences with as well as I've personally had good experiences with.

It is a mobile home and I was able to get seller financing for half of the purchase price. 

I leveraged my owned land to build my personal home.

I am based in Edmonton, Alberta.
