When investing in an off-market deal, is it better to purchase properties vacant or is it still a good idea to purchase a property even with paying tenants inside of it? 

However, if you have to pay them back in a short period of time and make high interest-only payments monthly, that might work against you.Have you tried asking for owner financing terms for the $230k?

Now you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Couldn’t I sell for a loss, and pay the bank back whatever I owe them but borrow that amount?

P.S. if this was only a couple thousand dollar audit I would just pay CRA and then they'd refund me once they've finished re-assessment. 

We don't want to sell the house but want to make sure we are covered as much as possible on the extra liability of renting a house with a pool.

My experience with Furnished Finder is that nurses want the world without paying much for it.

Can you get a loan or pay with cash?

There shouldn't be a need to pay a whole month's worth of fees, before you have the cleaning fees in hand.
