With new property, not reflected on your tax returns 75% of the rental income will count towards your income and qualifying.

Tell us more about the property you are evaluating so that we can be of better assistance.

Right now houses are cheap, money is cheap, and there are tons of assistance programs so we are likely to not see any major increase in home purchases as primary residences in the near term, and in fact if the market becomes tighter in terms of inventory, lending restrictions become tighter, or interest rates rise then most people would expect a decline in the number of home purchases as a primary residence. 

The people on this board take valuable time and effort out of their day to respond to requests for assistance, experiences, and knowledge. 

Make sure you network locally and have dedicated local people who assist your during your decision making process, keep an eye out for you and who stay on top your properties.

Some also seemed quite bitter at the fact I was even in the business and wanted their help in assisting me to find a deal.

At least get assistance from an accountant familiar with such matters.

Hi @Bryce RobbinsI will PM you the details for a lender who may be in a position to assist. 

Over the past few years I have been observing the property management companies in our area (Vancouver) to determine who is likely to be a good fit for our properties and reflects our preferred management style.Interestingly enough, I've learned the most about property management companies from friends and colleagues of mine who have been tenants.

You'll soon sort it out; just keep practicing by making offers.If you need any assistance, please feel free to reach out.Good luck!
