Overall your looking at cash flow as a market driver, not an increase in value of the market giving you a stable investment.

I recently rented to a person with a very low credit score it was a chance but I had to find out why it was low and it was due to downsizing at the job and they had a new trade (truck driver) and they have paid very well for almost 2 years now.

You want to be in the driver's seat when it comes to choosing a tenant.

Without a sign up near a university you'll miss a good number of potential tenants (through friends and other Word Of Mouths), but still the primary driver of university rentals will be online, but not usually Craigslist. 

One of the rules is that you can't exclusively purchase a primary residence, but we would maintain our Canadian Driver's Licence.

You may as well ask a bus driver what wastes his time the most, stopping at a stop, opening and closing the doors, or pulling away from the stop.

Obviously, available and terms of financing is a huge driver of home affordability and demand.

We ended up under contract and during the inspection negotiations the buyer requested a bunch of silly things to do that I didn't want to pay for, some were a few knobs we tightened with a screw driver.

Hi BP,My partner and I just came across a great off market deal and one of our decision drivers is going to be how long we have to take a private loan out for.

If that is the case, my advice would be to change the servicing level on the loan so that you are in the drivers seat with regard to the FCL, and work with the attorney or trustee directly.
