I plan to look into these.

@Caley Crossman Several of my clients have successfully used a Self-Directed Plan (RRSP, TFSA, etc.) to hold a mortgage against their own personal residential property. 

Who do you plan to target (accredited investors or not), do you plan to advertise to the public, Do you need an RIA, etc- Make sure you know what to look for in a PPM, LPA, subs docs, etc if you don't do them by your legal team.

So that's what I plan to do: I'm going to buy in my own name and use a DBA.However, I also want to start building corporate credit now; which requires an LLC.

Good plan. 

But that was really the crux of my plan so I can’t fault myself there, buying all those houses gave me control.

My only plan when I started this was to earn a better return than anywhere else by using my comparative advantages (high knowledge of construction, DIY abilities, intimate knowledge of my geography, location in a cheap but growing area) to affect my return in a way that was impossible in other arenas.

@Richard Heck just sell them yourself i put mine 10 bed and 6 bed on bizquest and also contacted local realtors and local schools that train administrators and managers for ALFs,  , i get 5 inquiries a day 

I agree though... you either roll up your sleeves and make some sacrifices if you plan to DIY or you hire out the hard work and are happy to pay for the privilege. 

I plan on renting it for at least a year and then perhaps trying to sell.
