I understand completely not going back to the have-a-pulse-sign-here days, but I do think there are protections in place that strike a nice balance in promoting responsible home ownership, and anyone who has applied for a loan these days knows how strict they are requiring proper documentation.    

 (2) Applied knowledge is power.

I have just today applied to both Uber and Lyft (after reading another poster suggest to someone else).

When you approach the bank, I would look for a commercial loan structure as they can be a bit more flexible than if you were applying for a residential investment loan.  

Btw I'm only 18 and still school and can't apply for credit yet.

I'm not sure they apply for investment properties.

That said I am open to mixing in other models as they would apply such as flipping, straight cash flow, as the opportunities presented themselves.In any case, I am wondering if I should focus on a SFH acquisition for my next play, or a multi family property.  

As you dig a little deeper into the actual release by the provincial government the regulation only applies to licensed agents and appears to be "self-policing" by the industry itself ... so it may amount to a little more discretion, but not elimination of the behaviour.

If less than 6250 it probably wont work - but you can apply for a variance with little time and cost.

A family of six hoping to rent a two bedroom apt, a mentally challenged woman with two small children trying to escape an abusive husband, and a young couple, maybe nineteen or twenty, who were looking for a place they could share with his parents who'd just had their trailer repossessed are some of the people who applied for my most recent vacancy.
