Would anyone here say thats a ok start or would holding cash and seeking a Conventional loan  be better.side note: I want to get out of renting before summer 2016 (month2month lease at moment)

hahI read this article today (January home sales give rise to correction concerns) discussing market correction in the near future for Toronto and Vancouver, given that now even the condo market is seeing double digit growth month after month, without a shortage of supply unlike in home prices.My question is: Is there a way to estimate or calculate the ripple effect of that correction to the surrounding markets?

Got preapproved for a 4.125%, 30 yr conventional with 25% down.

with the rates being where they are now (high 2s to mid 3s) if you are able to qualify for conventional financing then that would be your route.  

Is there a way to finance the electrical rehab with our conventional mortgage loan?

The investor would be a passive manager, and we would split the profits 50/50.In this scenario, would it make more sense to utilize the "cash out refinance" strategy (purchasing a property all cash, renting it out, getting it appraised, pulling all the equity out, and repeat) OR would simply getting multiple conventional loans be better? 

Ok, so if you want to buy a SFH, you'll need at least 3 1/2% (FHA) or closer to 20% (conventional) for a down payment.. 

Question; How long on a conventional will they need to season the loan?

As owner occupied, FHA loans, Seller finance, conventional loans, partnering ect?

You will not be able to accept any type of conventional, FHA, VA or other bank financing.
