Obviously if you think inflation is heading back down soon the I-Bonds are a better bet.

There are sometimes exceptions (eg major reno), but there is a process you have to go through.For things like reroofing, unless you are literally rebuilding the roof, the unit can be occupied while the new roofing material is put on.A quick google search showed this for Ontario "Landlords who evict tenants for repairs or renovations must allow the tenants an opportunity to move back in at the same rent before offering the unit to others, according to the proposed changes"Your best bet would be to not renew their lease (this is not the same as an eviction-an eviction is the result of the tenant not following the terms of the lease) when it comes up for renewal.

A local credit union is probably your best bet for finding a HELOC.

So if you can use your first deal to get you to your 2nd and 3rd...big win...Otherwise that $32k would just be sitting in the house earning you $150/mo or 5% annual returns...based on this first project, I'd bet you could earn more than 5% with that money by BRRRRing another house... 

Let's hope we continue to keep ourself and other safe by wearing mask and following vaccination guidelines. 

My biggest concern at this point in my process is to ensure that I'm asking all of the right questions and doing my due diligence to ensure that my investment is 'safe'.I'd really appreciate it if folks in this group would throw out questions that I need to be asking. 

Be safe out there!

Usually credit unions are your best bet for low fixed rates.

These SFh's seem so.....safe.  

Looking within the $550,000 - $700,000 range and I don't mind dicey neighborhoods, but it needs to be relatively safe.
