They take a bit longer to close but they typically DO close.I think you might be limiting yourself too much by requiring cash only and not listing them on the MLS.

What about listing it on Furnished Finder?  

Some MICs in Canada may diversify their portfolio to include anything from smaller second residential mortgages to mortgages for commercial development properties.I have found in my experience working with B lenders (i have a long list of them) is that each MIC has its own investment strategy. 

If you have a nice house and you are in a busy real estate market you can let a relative or friend list your house without loosing too much, if they are good workers.

Then go ahead and handle the listing and transaction yourself. 

However, I added value in other ways by managing the rental myself, from listing on sites, managing tenants, mowing the lawn, and cleaning the house in between guests.

It seems like it was a restaurant or a grocery store. 

They just give you a list of properties to buy. 

This is taking into account all fees (listing, leasing, etc).

I own a commercial land lot in Birmingham AL and I signed it over to a broker so he can list it and sell it.
