Plumbing should be easy as well, considering the inspector should be able to see vent stacks and also see proper traps and pipe sizes... 

I dont want to go into the rabbit hole of viewing getting docs, analyzing if this is a death trap....

Many new homes now come with termite and insect injecting ports along the wall keep them further away......

My best option may be private lenders but as a short test of the water revieled , those sources can be sketchy and a real trap for the newbies like myself. 

There are a handful of good addendum suppliers in Ontario including LPMA and Harry Fine paralegal.You must also be careful of traps they've put in, such as the agreement to serve by email is ONLY for tenants, not landlords.

I copied this from a search on real estate ROE:Return on Equity (ROE) ratio calculates the amount of return generated in a particular year on the total amount of equity invested (or trapped) in a property.The amount invested (or denominator) is calculated as the initial investment (down payment) plus the entire increase in net property’s appreciation and the entire decrease in outstanding loan balance incurred prior to the year the ratio is being calculated.Cash-on-Cash Return is a similar calculation, but since the two draw backs of the traditional Cash-on-Cash Return are that property appreciation and principal debt payments are not factored into the formula, Return on Equity adds these two components to the traditional Cash-on-Cash Return calculation.A property’s net equity increase is calculated by determining what the “Net Sale Proceeds after Taxes” would be at the beginning of a year, and then again at the end of the year.

I felt somewhat trapped--wanted to maintain good relationship with MIL & her husband(who bought house and are going to be a permanent fixture in the neighborhood), but DIL & BF didn't look great on paper.

are all lawsuit bait.BE AWARE - the state employs “testers” who actively try to trap landlords, lenders and others into making discriminatory statements or taking discriminatory actions. 

If your value and rents go up over time then you come out financial far ahead of the person that succumbed to the trap of "financial security means collecting rental income from a free and clear asset."

Please help, I want to get out of this renting trap ASAP.
