Builders were burned big-time in the crash, and the ones that survived have primarily focused on the high-end, high-margin larger homes.

If I could survive 2008, I'm sure I can survive anything else that's thrown at me!

@Skyler Harris the short answer: no. 

But still that is not a lot of time to build credit history, I will have around 40K cash to put down with enough in reserve to survive for 10 months should I lose my job or something crazy happened.2.

@Gerald Harris Will I find my local club on BP or just Google it?

@Gerald Harris @John Bryson Thanks guys.Jorge

@Brook Azezew I think BMO Harris Bank offers an investment property loan to Canadian citizens.

As I close out 2017 i want to to share another successful year investing BUT even after doing this for 14 years I made mistakes and learnt some hard lessons. 1) bought and rehabbed 6 houses. 2) pushed my total rental unit count to over 75.3) paid a roofer from CL to do a roof who went MIA 4) reduced my evictions to under 10%5)lost 8 tenants all at once. 6)pushed my total occupancy rate to 93%7) survived 2 larger fires.I would love some input on how your 2017 turned out and share some wins and losses.

In my opinion, the only countries that would survive and actual economic crisis are the ones that have gone NERP or ZERP because of the fact that they’re growing organically instead of artificially.

Harry Means Good luck.
