I am glad things worked well for you over the years. 

Hi Derek,Based out of Surrey, BC and thinking of investing in the states as well.

Ran into many problems with contractors along the way, paid for some material twice as well as some projects to be redone.

I intend to add a closet to the den and make it a 3 bedroom adding value as well as remodel the entire unit.

It is rather confusing, and I would have your attorneys go through it as well if you decide to proceed.Gino

We've utilized the VA loan for our current home, and this strategy has worked well so far.
