@Michael Plaks - S Corp will involve unnecessary complexity - accounting for extra entity, dealing with payroll, and it won't solve the problem fully - part of the profits must be distributed as salary with all social security taxes and only part can be distributed as dividends.

I bank with TD Bank in the US and was thinking to start with them (since they are a Canadian bank) to open a Canadian bank account and apply for a mortgage.

Paid $230k (Canadian - $CAD) and it's now worth about $130k.

I have the tenant complete the Cozy application and I get a photo of their state ID, social security card and last two months pay stubs.I require the credit check and that I rely heavily on that for the approval process. 

Yeah, the degree is for sure the “social” norm but that is not what I am referencing.

This is a bit different sorta rental then a typical duplex or a house or apartment building whereby the tenants can practice social distancing. 

I already have some domains, and I'm working on access to the email for social media purposes though G Suite.

So for the past 5 years my fiancé and I have always been interested in real estate on the HGTV level (Canadian here).

California is among the states that have seen a resurgence in coronavirus cases as state officials eased quarantine and social distancing measures.

You can social distance, wear masks and hand sanitize as required, and still proceed.
