Although I understand that corporate real estate is so different from residential, I hope that some knowledge and skills are transferable and I can turbo charge and learn fast!

You're basically playing the odds.

But I understand your suggestion.

Althought ready-to-use calculators are convenient, I like to understand where the numbers are coming from and where they are going.Best,Marcelo

In short, I’ve never rented to CMHA tenants, and I’m trying to understand the pros/cons.

I am aiming for a home between 150-250k, which i can afford if all hell breaks loose, at a 5% conventional 30 year term loan (unless a lender or someone else can suggest me a better loan) My question is what are the minimum requirements for obtaining such a home (capital wise, credit score wise, salary wise) Who can i specifically talk to for these numbers and help me understand tenant demand, areas, and more specific information about my market?

With me being a beginning investor, Zach has been very patient in listening to me sort out my inner doubts/conflicts while also helping me better understand the stages of purchasing an investment.

We've thought about subbing out to a proper "property management" company but we really don't need help collecting rent or expenses (this is all done electronically online) or even finding new Tenants on the odd occasion when we have an Apt turnover (we use Brokers for that) ...

So understandably, its the "cool thing" to do with real estate.   

I've read previous posts about this topic but some of them were dated prior to the 12-month loan seasoning requirement that was updated in April 2023, so wanted to confirm I'm understanding it correctly.
