Just like Jim, I am a total RED flag on these guys.I spent 6 months working on a refinance of a portfolio of 13 single family houses and 2 4 plexes.

a dark gray with white trim and red door

That would be a big red flag for me. 

I don't care if the numbers are good anymore if the location is in a red zone of high crime. 

Definitely come attend the SLREIA or UVREIA meetings and get to know the local players in your market.

If you were to show this to a hard money lender, it would be a huge red flag, indicating lack of due diligence and/or lack of experience.It appears that you are looking to not only cover 100% of the project purchase and rehab, but also walk away with money in hand for "spending"?  

She also mentioned a couple things that were a red flag when we spoke.

@Andrew K.I would recommend  Redding and Weir, they understand the legal issues that go along with setting up entities for Canadians.Their contact is below :David C.

If someone tries to isolate you and pull you offsite that is an immediate red flag.

Although, it really isn't the fault of little people who can't handle financial pressure.. it's the fault of major players gaming the system for their own profit.
